BASTILLE: ALT ROCK GROUP

BASTILLE:  Alternative Rock/Indie Rock group formed 2010 in London.
Bastille released their debut album in the United Kingdom in March 2013 ‘BAD BLOOD’  they later released  ‘ALL THIS BAD BLOOD’ in the United Kingdom in November 2013, and to iTunes January 2014, which includes all the tracks of 'Bad Blood', plus new songs and demo's. 

Somewhat similar to Bon Iver, they are a talented group:Dan Smith – lead vocals, keyboards, percussion, string arrangements,  Kyle Simmons – keyboards, percussion, backing vocals,  Will Farquarson – bass, keyboards, acoustic guitar, backing vocals and Chris "Woody" Wood – drums, backing vocals.

The group is skilled at layering digitally altered harmonies and thick synths with exact implementation of instruments as in drums, or guitars or keyboard, whatever is called for in specific hooks and runs. They bring all the modern day gimmicks with vocals that create memorable melodies.

They recently appeared on Saturday Night Live (1/18/2014), Jimmy Kimmal and Conan, performing their hit ‘Pompeii'.

They are hugely popular in the United Kingdom and the United States. Currently  ‘Pompeii’  is the number one single on iTunes a year after its original release. They are currently working on their 2nd studio album and touring around the USA.
