Bad Blood

So I've been meaning to write another post about Bastille for a while now. I've posted one or two of their covers in the past without saying a great deal on them, though I remember the band being great live when I saw them a couple of years ago. They've had a fair bit of Radio One play time which is great for them and really showcases something we should be proud of and excited about in contemporary music. As much as they're pretty poppy and sweet, there's a tone to the vocal that's so unique and, in my view, absolutely gorgeous. Here's a sampler of their forthcoming album , Bad Blood, and though there are one or two relatively weak-sounding tracks on there, I think I'll be buying it.

I'm experiencing some hard-hitting flashbacks to singing this obsessively every break time for at least a year with my un-madeup school friends. Bastille know how to twist the shit out of childhood memories...
