They formed in 2004 while studying at Wilmslow High School in Manchester, as they played punk rock in numerous local club in the area. The band's first EP, "Facedown" released in 2012.

A month after they visited Manila last March, I really regret to swing by Fairview Terraces (take note: 5-10 minutes drive from my place) that day when they performed in the Activity Area of the said plush mall. Some of my favey The 1975 songs are Heart Out, Falling For You, Me, Chocolate, The City, and Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You. Whenever I see Matty's photos online, it drives me crazy! LOL
