The phrase 'hotly tipped' was all-but created for Bastille - the band project of spectacularly skilled singer and songwriter Dan Smith.

Bastille are a genuine word-of-mouth success, with their fanbase growing with every live show and every release. We caught up with Dan backstage at London's recent Bushstock festival to chat about the band's growth, his nineties-house influenced EP, giving away his music for free and Bastille's upcoming debut album...

We previously caught up with Bastille when they performed an acoustic session for Gigwise. Watch 'These Streets' here.
