Whether you love or hate The 1975, you'll probably enjoy their new video of 'The Sound' - in which they face their critics head-on by having common insults of them appear on screen.
The video, taken from their second album I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It, sees the band in their new pink aesthetic, performing in a modern art space - when critics come to pass their judgement.
Among the critiques are 'Do people still really make music like this?', 'Terrible high-pitched vocals', Punch-your-TV obnoxious', Unconvincing emo lyrics', 'They're essentially making robotic Huey Lewis tunes', 'This band thinks it has a charismatic singer...' and 'I heard 'Chocolate' Once And Hated It'.
Just as we wrote in our review of their amazing new album (out today), 'here are a band fully-aware of the criticisms levelled against them'.
We're sure that Reverend & The Makers will enjoy the new video - after frontman Jon McClure got involved in an epic and vicious Twitter row with frontman Matt Healy.
The 1975, who release their difficult (to pronounce) second album I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It today, are also hitting the road next week. Their full list of upcoming tour dates are as follows. For tickets and more information, visit here.
