5. The 1975 - The 1975
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsYE078RQCI Originating from Manchester, this awesome young pop-rock band have recently made quite a quick splash in the music industry. The 1975 have a distinctly cool style; even if it is a little different to whats currently popular among rock stars. Their music has a fantastic youthful quality to it with lyrics often bemoaning casual sex and how these guys arent your typical stoned 18 year olds. Their influences seem to lie heavily in the 1980s and some songs evoke Michael Jackson in a slightly more rock n roll fashion. You can trust us when we say that their debut self-titled effort is another must have of 2013. Stand out tracks include the annoyingly catchy lead single Chocolate and their latest radio release Settle Down. They were even asked to open for Rihanna on her last tour, which they defiantly turned down, stating they didnt want to be associated with that kind of music. Youve got to admit thats cool...even if they did get Harry Styles endorsement as well. You cant help but compare them to early U2 from their look and musical style. Although they have a more modern approach to infusing a youthful spirit into their work; and it usually has something to do with girls...
