The 1975 are an English alternative rock band formed in Wilmslow, Cheshire in 2002 by vocalist and guitarist Matty Healy, guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald and drummer George Daniel while attending secondary school together. Before adopting the name The 1975, the band performed under several different names. The band's name was inspired by a page of handwritten notes found in a copy of Jack Kerouac's On the Road, dated "1st June, The 1975". Frontman Matty Healy was struck by the phrasing and later chose it as the band's name.
Known for blending Alternative rock, Indie pop, Art rock, Funk, Electronic music and ambient influences, The 1975 have become one of Britain's most acclaimed contemporary bands. Their music combines infectious melodies, thoughtful lyricism and genre-spanning songwriting, earning widespread critical acclaim and a devoted international following.
After years of performing together and refining their sound, The 1975 released a series of EPs that generated significant attention before their self-titled debut album propelled them into the mainstream. Their willingness to experiment across genres has become one of the band's defining characteristics, allowing each release to explore new musical territory while maintaining their distinctive identity.
Albums including The 1975, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It, A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships and Being Funny in a Foreign Language showcase the band's evolution, balancing anthemic indie rock, electronic production, atmospheric pop and introspective songwriting.
