Bastille! (The band, not the day!)

[Dag Downyfur]

Anyone else here like the band Bastille?
My favourite song by them is "The Draw" but I like all of their songs!! They're really amazing.

[Edraithel]

I love them! Especially their song overjoyed and icarus.

[Dannflower Reguba]

       These are the guys who do "Pompeii," right? If so, I' pretty sure that's the only song of theirs that I heard, it was good though.

[Edraithel]

Yes they did pompeii

[BlueRose]

I've only heard Pompeii and Bad Blood, but I love them!

[Dag Downyfur]

Yes, they are the ones who sang "Pompeii", that's their most well-known song.
You should look up some of their other songs, they're even better, at least in my opinion

[BlueRose]

I will!

I've actually only recently gotten into American pop music... I mean, I've liked Owl City and Blind Pilot for a year or so now, but then I heard Pompeii on the radio one day, and then I started listening to the radio almost all the time to hear it again (because back then, I didn't know what it was called). Now I listen to more American pop than Korean pop.

Bastille did a number on my music preferences.

...I was going to make a dancing joke, but my complete lack of knowledge is inhibiting me here.

[BlueRose]

Haha.

[Romsca]

I'm trying to remember if I started a topic like this since I started listening to them last September before their first album even came out...

Edit: No I didn't, I've just mentioned them before. I've heard all of their songs except for the remixes

Do you know why the band is called Bastille?

Spoiler

The lead signer Dan Smith's birthday is on Bastille Day (July 14)

[close]

They're having a concert sometime soon near me (I'm not going to when or where) but I don't think I'll be able to go because I'm busy then and my mom doesn't really like their music (she thinks their music is too depressing)

My favorite song is probably... I don't know, I like all of them. I really like the violin part of "Oblivion", though

[Dag Downyfur]

Yes, I know why their name is Bastille. XD
And I never really thought their music was depressing, weird.
(And I see from your profile picture that you like Imagine Dragons, too..they're my other favourite band It seems we have similar music preferences.)

[Romsca]

Do you like folk music? Because I really like that too.

I wonder if/when Imagine Dragons will release a new album. It would be a shame if they didn't. I don't think Bastille will release another album soon, though, since All This Bad Blood just came out in... February, I think? in the US

Edit: I just read this post and realized how short and choppy my sentences are. I must be really tired

[Dag Downyfur]

I haven't really listened to much folk music, but I'd be open to giving it a try. Do you have any suggestions as to bands and such?

I hope Imagine Dragons releases a new album soon. I know they have a song for some Transformers movie..I don't know which one; I haven't really watched those movies. The song is called "Battle Cry" and it's pretty good- though I've only listened to it once.
And they just finished a tour, didn't they? Maybe they'll start working on new songs now that they don't have that to worry about; I certainly hope so!

[Romsca]

Of Monsters and Men and The Lumineers

I think I heard a rumor about a new Imagine Dragons album coming soon!
I don't know when though

[Dag Downyfur]

Ooh, I have listened to some songs from Of Monsters and Men. And I know one song by the Lumineers. I'll have take a look at some of the others.
