Artist Bio
Bastille is an indie pop band from London, formed in 2010 and fronted by singer-songwriter Dan Smith. Originally a solo project, Bastille grew into a quartet with Kyle Simmons, Will Farquarson, and Chris Wood, and they quickly gained attention with their 2011 singles and EPs. The group broke through with their debut album *Bad Blood* in 2013, featuring the worldwide hit "Pompeii," and they’ve since released several albums experimenting with indie pop, electronic, and alternative rock influences. Noteworthy projects include their collaborative mixtape series *Other People’s Heartache* and an orchestral version of "Pompeii" with Hans Zimmer, as well as involvement in charity singles. Fans of artists like Imagine Dragons, Foster the People, and CHVRCHES will likely find Bastille’s combination of anthemic hooks and narrative-driven songwriting appealing.
