Review

Well, well, well, looks like Bastille decided to crash the music scene with a bang, or should I say, with some "Bad Blood"? Their 2013 debut album didn't just dip its toes in the water; it cannonballed right into the deep end of the charts. Triple platinum in the UK? That's not just swimming, that's doing laps around the competition.

Now, let's talk about "Pompeii". This track wasn't just a hit; it was the musical equivalent of Mount Vesuvius erupting all over the airwaves. It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, probably because it was too polite to knock the number one off its pedestal. And don't even get me started on how it infected TV shows like "The Vampire Diaries" and "Grey's Anatomy". I mean, nothing says "dramatic moment" like a catchy tune about an ancient Roman disaster, right?

But it's not all doom and gloom (or should I say doom and tomb?). The album's blend of indie rock, pop, and electronic elements is like a musical cocktail that shouldn't work but somehow leaves you wanting more. Dan Smith's vocals are so distinctive, you'd recognize them in a crowded karaoke bar after a few too many. And let's not forget, this bad boy of an album snagged Bastille the BRIT Award for Best Breakthrough Act in 2014. Not too shabby for a bunch of guys who named themselves after a French prison, eh? - Dave
