Bastille have every reason to embrace the Christmas festivities after the year they’ve had, and they were full of the joys of the season during a visit to Fearne Cotton’s Radio 1 show yesterday (December 19th).
The band aired a little medley of past Christmas pop favourites for the BBC show, with East 17‘s ‘Stay Another Day‘ and the more traditional ‘O Holy Night‘ being the mainstays next to references to Mariah Carey‘s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You‘ and Wham!‘s ‘Last Christmas‘. Have a watch of the video below.
2013 began for Bastille with the hit single ‘Pompeii‘ and was followed in March with the UK number one debut album ‘Bad Blood‘. “It would be difficult to find a band with such a weight of knowledge and ease in cultivating history to span out poignant analogies for the current struggles of youth in the modern age,” Live4ever’s review reflects.
“This record will speak to many, but particularly young adults at that confusing stage of life where thoughts inevitably turn to how best to utilise your time on earth so as to grow old with few regrets.”
