Bastille
Jul 2, 2019
Who knew how big Bastille would become when Dan Smith started the band alone in his bedroom in 2010 and then brought in Chris Wood (drums), Will Farquarson (guitar) and Kyle Simmons (keyboards)? Since then, Bastille has sold over eight million albums and amassed more than 6.5 billion cumulative streams globally.
Bastille returns with their third album, Doom Days – which the bio states “takes listeners on a big night out in search of distraction from the surrounding apocalypse.” In addition to the songs “Joy” and “Quarter Past Midnight,” check out “Divide,” “Nocturnal Creatures,” “4AM” and the title track.
Smith recently said in an interview with BILLBOARD, “We wanted to make a record that was all about pure hedonism and totally shut off from the problems of your life and issues of the world.”
On June 21st, Bastille performed in Central Park as part of ABC’s “Good Morning America” Summer Concert series to spotlight the album release. Bastille is currently on a worldwide tour which brings them to North America this fall.
