"What's too often missing from the latest gaggle of synthed-out-indie-rock up starts is swagger. Frontman Matthew Healy has it in spades." - Esquire ("Bands To Watch in 2013")
"It's rock'n'roll that's meant to be played in big spaces and fill up stadiums." - Nylon
"The UK loves to provide us with glistening guitars and a singer aching over love gone wrong and, for now, The 1975 look like the best of the bunch. - Fader
"Equal parts ethereal and synth pop, The 1975 are undoubtedly a band on the rise, and for good reason." - Paste
