Critics have been mesmerized and enchanted by The 1975 & their eclectic forays into brooding rock, sleek electronica, club R&B, and vivid 80s pop. Matty Healy of the Manchester four-piece says, "I think it's inspiring - lacking an identity & searching for one - something many connect with. Crazy people want so many rules in music!" His debut album, co-produced with Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys, Foals, The Kooks), is a driving soundtrack to the modern youth - lust, intoxication & raw attitude. Matty's adult life began young, with two guitars from his dad's best friend who passed away. His rebelliousness was already seen in school - he was asked to leave the private school & transitioned to public school at 14, where he started drumming in a punk band alongside future bandmates Adam & Ross.
