Биография

Over the course of a decade together, Bastille’s unique sound—that cinematic, melancholic pop that masks the bleak realities reflected in their lyrics—has connected with global audiences like no other British band in recent memory. The band’s chart-conquering debut album “Bad Blood”, which featured the international hit, ‘Pompeii’, drove Bastille to became 2013’s biggest-selling global breakthrough act, with over a billion Spotify streams. Bastille’s second album “Wild World” retained the vivid, filmic songwriting of its predecessor but pushed the band’s distinctive sound in exciting new directions. In 2018 the band collaborated with Marshmello on the hit single, “Happier”. The track topped charts around the world. It spent a record breaking year at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic songs tally. Bastille’s third album, “Doom Days” found the band at their most lyrically provocative and vital and charts the course of one night in search of distraction from the surrounding apocalypse. Their fourth album “Give Me The Future”, was hailed by many critics as their best release to date, with The Fader describing it as “a grand collection of sci-fi inspired songs attempting to make sense of the world’s fast-moving venture into dystopia”. Since the release of the record, Bastille have brought the themes of the album to life in arenas across the UK and the world. With over 10 million records sold, Bastille continue to be one of the world’s most streamed bands.
