London Grammar are one of the most talked about, up and coming bands of the year for one simple reason: they are brilliant. We caught up with the hotly-tipped trio discuss pressure, comparisons and their debut album. Watch our video interview with the band below.

Speaking about the pressure of the expectations facing them, singer Hannah Reid that they are not phased by hype.

"What happened to Lana Del Rey was overnight and just phenomenal," she said. "She got criticised for not being able to sing live, but I'm pretty sure that one of her first live performances was on Jools Holland. I got very nervous around the time of our first gigs and you just realise that kind of pressure.

Check out our video interview with London Grammar below, where the band discusss their debut album, media pressure, electronic influences and being allowed to progress organically.
