The 1975

The 1975 had already released a platinum-selling album—their 2013 self-titled debut—before they learned to trust their own instincts.

“It’s hard to have that confidence when you’re young,” frontman Matty Healy told Apple Music.

“A lot of people’s early music has a lot to do with: ‘Is this cool enough to show my mates?’ That can kill bands if they never leave The Hawley Arms”—the Camden pub/epicenter of British indie music in the 2000s.
