Formed in Manchester in 2002, The 1975 have established themselves as one of the defining bands of their generation with their distinctive aesthetic, ardent fanbase and unique sonic approach.
After four studio albums, there’s not much territory The 1975 hasn’t covered at this point. Throughout their tenure as a band, the English rockers have flirted with glossy pop, anarchist punk, gritty garage rock, electro-funk and country.
They’ve used their incisive songwriting to ask existential questions surrounding self-discovery, nihilism, climate change, mental health, addiction, post-modernism and cybersex. So what’s a band to do when they’ve seemingly done it all?
After 20 years together, The 1975 decided it was time for a return to form—a way to celebrate their beginnings and showcase their growth. The result is their fifth effort ‘Being Funny in a Foreign Language’ – perhaps the band’s most intimate sounding record yet.
After two years in a pandemic where technology was a means to cope with isolation, the world — and the band themselves —seemed to be searching for raw moments. Being Funny tries to do just that, grappling with love and loss in the post-internet age. “I feel like people are craving things that are remarkable that require as little technology as possible,” says band leader Matty Healy.
The 1975 made their long awaited live comeback last month, headlining Japan’s biggest rock festival Summer Sonic 2022 in Tokyo and Osaka before returning for two triumphant homecoming headline slots at Reading & Leeds Festival.
To celebrate the release, the band have unveiled a brand new live session of ‘Oh Caroline’; the first in a series of three videos with VEVO.
In support of ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’, the band will be taking their brand new ‘At Their Very Best’ tour on the road with dates across the US in November and December before a run of shows in the UK and Ireland in January 2023 and Japan in April. Tickets are on sale now HERE.
In addition, the band have just announced another leg of their ‘At Their Very Best’ tour, taking in shows across Australia and New Zealand in April 2023.
The band’s previous album, 2020’s ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’, became their fourth consecutive No. 1 album in the UK, landing at No. 1 in Australia too. The band were named NME’s ‘Band of the Decade’ in 2020 after being crowned ‘Best Group’ at the BRIT Awards in both 2017 & 2019. Their third studio album, ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships’, also won ‘Mastercard British Album of the Year’ at the 2019 ceremony.
