The 1975 are an English pop rock band formed in 2002 in Wilmslow, Cheshire. Now based in Manchester, the band consists of lead vocalist, principal lyricist and co-songwriter Matty Healy, lead guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer and co-songwriter George Daniel. The name of the band was inspired by a page of scribblings found in Healy’s copy of On the Road by Jack Kerouac that was dated “1 June, The 1975”.
The band members met in secondary school, and first performed together as teenagers. Gigs organized by a council worker led the band to sign with Dirty Hit and Polydor Records. From 2012–13, they opened for several major acts and released a series of extended plays – Facedown, Sex, Music for Cars, IV – before releasing their UK chart-topping self-titled debut album (2013), which included the popular singles “Sex”, “Chocolate”, and “Robbers”.
Known for their genre-defying musical style, all of the band’s albums hit No. 1 in the United Kingdom and charted in the Billboard 200, garnering critical praise and appearing in numerous publications’ year-end and decade-end lists. Their second album, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It (2016), also reached No. 1 in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and its box set received a nomination for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package at the 59th Grammy Awards. The band’s third album, A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships (2018), received widespread acclaim and won British Album of the Year at the 2019 Brit Awards with its single “Give Yourself A Try” earning a nomination for Best Rock Song at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. This was followed by Notes on a Conditional Form (2020) and Being Funny in a Foreign Language (2022) with the latter receiving a nomination for British Album of the Year at the 2023 Brit Awards and winning the Brit Award for British Rock/Alternative Act.
