Bastille - named after the lead vocalist's day of birth, which also happens to be Bastille Day in France.
Now this quartet has brightened up many a day in my life over the past few months. Dan Smith is such a talented musician and he happens to be quite easy on the eyes as well :-) He so beautifully creates different sounds to their music which causes them to stand out and grab major audiences in different genres.
Just have a listen to the awesomeness, that is, Bastille (beware - goosebumps are a sure thing)
