I'm totally not The 1975's audience (far too old) but I think they're amazing.
They're very different to what I usually listen to but have seen them live 4 times now and they really deliver. When they play "The Sound", it's going to be a Glastonbury moment.
Totally agree that Matty can be an asshole but I have come to terms with the fact that most great pop/rock/music stars are just awful people. I can't imagine how you could be in that position and still be normal.
I'm really surprised at how dismissive people are of them, but totally understand that people's tastes differ. I feel like that about Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay and Muse, for example.

2. The Waterboys, Universal Hall, Findhorn, Scotland, 16 September
3. Ben de la Cour, Green Note, Camden, 5 July
