8 Reasons To Love The 1975

You probably know them from the song “Chocolate” that became popular a couple years ago, however the 1975 is so much more than just that one particular song. They’re extremely innovative and creative producers, songwriters and musicians and have just released their tour dates for North America which kicks off in October. See you November 25, The 1975.

1. They cross all genres.

From songs like “Girls” and “The Sound” that are uber-pop to soft, melodic ballads like “Falling For You” and “Nana” to R&B influences in “If I Believe You," their music crosses all genres and they say they love that. They like to experiment with different sounds and don’t like to categorize themselves. Pop, alternative, electronic, rock - it doesn’t matter. All that matters is the incredible music.

2. They are original and innovative.

They have been together since when they were all in high school and their manager specifically set up a record label just for them because no one would sign them. Because of this, they make the type of music they want to and aren't tied down by anyone else's vision for them.

3. They are from the U.K.

Who doesn't love a great British boy band?

4. "Somebody Else" music video.

Just released a couple weeks ago, it already has over five million views and I think I may have contributed to about half of those. All I can say is just watch it.

5. The song “Robbers.”

This song in and of itself gives me the feels every time I listen to it. This is the one song I would have someone listen to if they have never heard the 1975 before.

6. Their live production/set.

For reference, “UGH!” music video.

7. How beautiful they are.

Aside from exuding talent musically, their looks definitely don’t hurt either. Pictured above from the GQ "Some of the most stylish men in existence" feature.

8. Matty Healy himself.

Watch any interview of frontman Matty Healy and he is absolutely mesmerizing. He is so intelligent, yet humble and incredibly well-spoken. He speaks from the heart and is so candidly honest and fervent about what he does. And he’s good to look at as well.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
