Bastille started out as a solo project by singer-songwriter Dan Smith, who later decided to form a band. The quartet consists of Dan Smith, Chris 'Woody' Wood, Will Farquarson and Kyle Simmons. The name of the band comes from Bastille Day, which was the day when Smith was born. Bastille released their latest album, 'Doom Days', on 14 June 2019 to international critical acclaim.

Bastille debuted in June 2011 with their 7" single, "Flaws"/"Icarus" (released on Young & Lost Club). This was then followed by their EP 'Laura Palmer' later in 2011. After adding a few more tracks online, the band received a lot of attention from indie rock fans on the web, helping secure some support slots. During the summer of 2011, they performed at a number of major UK festivals, including Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, and Blissfields.

On 27 April 2012, "Overjoyed" came out, being the debut Virgin Records single from Bastille. This was confirmed by EMI on 1 May 2012. After the video release of "Overjoyed" on YouTube, 'Q Magazine' introduced the song as its track of the day for 7 March 2012. Fans seemingly devoured the tune.

"Bad Blood" was released on Virgin Records on 20 August 2012. Following the video release of "Bad Blood" on YouTube, Bastille were named "The New Band of the Day" by writers for 'The Guardian' on 25 July 2012. In not too long, Bastille performed at the major UK Reading and Leeds Festivals in August 2012. They played an October 2012 headline tour that brought them into the spotlight alongside Emeli Sandé, with Swiss Lips supporting them.

Bastille's single "Flaws"/"Icarus" was featured in the soundtrack of the popular British Channel 4 television show 'Made in Chelsea'. As well, "Weight of Living, Pt. II" was part of the soundtrack for FIFA 13. "Of The Night", Bastille's dual cover of both Snap!'s "Rhythm is a Dancer" and Corona's "The Rhythm of the Night", was used to advertise Dancing on Ice in the run up to its 2013 series.

Bastille played their first show outside of Europe on 3 December 2012 at Hong Kong's Clockenflap Music & Arts Festival.

Bastille's song "Oblivion" featured in the soundtrack of the television show The Vampire Diaries in the Season 4 Episode 9 titled "O Come, All Ye Faithful".

They supported Two Door Cinema Club on their UK tour throughout January/February 2013 and toured through Europe in April to promote their debut album.

The band have also released two mixtapes : "Other People's Heartache Pt 1" (featuring covers, among others, of "Blue Jeans" by Lana del Rey, "The Rhythm of The Night" by Corona) and "Other People's Heartache Pt 2" (featuring covers, including, "Sweet Nothing" by Calvin Harris, "No Scrubs" by TLC and "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac).

Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh-ohh
Ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
Johnny's on the A-Train
Taking it the wrong way
Shiny on the surface, rotten on the inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Shake, rattle and roll
You got control, got my attention
Make me tap and scroll
You got control, got my attention

[Chorus]
You got us listening
So what you gonna do?
Now, what you gonna do with it?
You got us listening
So what you gonna do?
Now, what you gonna do with it?

[Post-Chorus]
Make me paranoid
Love me, hate me, fill the void
What you gonna do with it?
(Ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]
Sally's never outside
Got a screen to hide behind
She says she’s happy on the inside
And got a lot of friends online

[Pre-Chorus]
Shake, rattle and roll
You got control, got my attention
Make me tap and scroll
You got control, got my attention

[Chorus]
Listening... you got us listening
So what you gonna do with it?
You got us listening
So what you gonna do?
Now what you gonna do with it?

[Post-Chorus]
Make me paranoid
Love me, hate me, fill the void
What you gonna do with it?
So who am I? You decide
Inside out you read my mind
What you gonna do with it?

Hey, Bastille and stormers. I just want to share my interpretation of this song. I hope you don't mind it. I read somewhere that Dan likes it when other people have their own theories about his song.

I think it's about us being consumed by social media. We spent too much time online, we give our attention to those people that barely know.

"You got us listening. So what you gonna do with it"

I actually think of someone that is popular online (maybe an influencer) and the world is asking " okay, now what?"

The line
So who am I? You decide
Inside out, you read my mind

Resonates our behaviour in social media. We post a picture with random caption and let people label us. When we post a picture on a beach, people will assume that we're on vacation eventhough we're not. So i think that's the point of "you decide"

Thank you for reading this
Feel free to give your own interpertation on the comment!

THE LYRICS <3

Johnny’s on the A-train
Takin’ it the wrong way

Rotten on the inside

Shake, rattle and roll, you got control, got my attention
Make me tap and scroll, you got control, got my attention

You got us listening, so what you gonna do?
Now what you gonna do with it?
You got us listening, so what you gonna do?
Now what you gonna do with it?
Make me paranoid, love me, hate me, fill the void
What you gonna do with it?

Sally’s never outside
Got a screen to hide behind
She says she’s happy on the inside
And got a lot of friends online

Shake, rattle and roll, you got control, got my attention
Make me tap and scroll, you got control, got my attention

Listening... you got us listening, so what you gonna do with it?
You got us listening, so what you gonna do?
Now what you gonna do with it?
Make me paranoid, love me, hate me, fill the void
What you gonna do with it?

I also like how there's a contradiction in each new phase to a song in the previous one:
Sleepsong (Bad Blood) - Don't talk to strangers // Comfort of Strangers (Doom Days This Got Out of Hand) - Sleep with strangers
The Currents (Wild World) - Drowning in politics // The Waves (Doom Days) - Letting it all carry you away, going with it, not drowning
Doom Days - I put my phone down // What you Gonna Do??? - Being all consumed by media

I think that it's because they tell you to not do something, then show what happens when you do that thing. It's a demonstration of the consequences for not doing what you know is best for you.

@Jelly Rolls Yeah I remember listening to it when it came out for the Record Store day

Jelly Rolls

comfort of strangers actually originally came out in 2017 so it's a wild world era song, though it does fit thematically at least as well with Doom Days as Wild World. Honestly, since Doom Days has come out I'm seeing all that kind of escapist stuff all the way back through their music

Jesus has changed my life, He answered my prayers, i had been praying for years so I can get baptized and He answered that prayer when the time was right. Both my parent use to drink alot and plus my dad use to smoke cigarettes and I use to suffer because of that my dad has also fall away from his faith at that time but Jesus sent one of His followers to my dads work and then he use to talk to my dad about His life back together with Jesus to build a relationship with Him and that same year around Christmas a bit after my dad got sick and the follower of Jesus prayed for my dad to get better and he did, but while he was sick he did not smoke or drink and even after that he never drink or smoke again Jesus has freed him from that trap which he was in since he was a teenager. My dad has built his relationship with Jesus and now is free of his past and lives for Jesus. After I got baptized I still was not close enough to Jesus but after a few months the Holy Spirit who is living inside me found a way to make me take my relationship with Jesus and I did. Later on I had my final exams and I barely studied, i told Jesus that He is my priority and it my grades doesnt matter however I had faith in that i would pass because of Jesus and when I got result o saw He did not let me down and I pass all my subjects only because of Him. A time I was praying for a job and the week after in church a opportunity came by. I also applied online for jobs and ask my uncle for help in finding one and one day i kneeled down and prayed and within a few minutes to an hour i got a call from my uncle saying he got me an interview and later that day i got a call from one i applied online. The next week i prayed on my knees again to get the job that i applied online for and aboutb5 in the evening i got a call saying i got that job. Jesus has even given me thing that i didnt praying for because He knows my heart. Everytime i had fallen away (i still do) He always brings me back to Him. He has never failed me and never will. Jesus said if we ask for anything in His Name we will get it.

I really like the lyrics "what are you gonna do with it" because in my case my phone is the only solace i can find, it taught me English, it made me meet amazing people, it taught it's okay to be sad and as soon as i left my head off my screen and look around me i realize how different I'm from the people around me and how much they hate me and how much i hate them. So in certain cases having a screen to hide behind is the thin line between giving up or trying.

Love the new sound. I'm always a bit critical when artist change their sound since I fell in love with a certain style of their music.

But Bastille aced it. 👌🏼

@John Drozdz True. I've been a Stormer since 2013 and loved how they changed their style on each album but still sounded like Bastille. Absolutely love their covers too!

John Drozdz

31w↑2

It's because they're so versatile, and truly talented artists. They make covers sound like their original songs, they can move into any genre and it would still sound like Bastille

@Alotheus Isme yeah thanks for bringing up the topic. I just watched the video for Doom Days
https://youtu.be/IOX30CHr4JY

Apparently this isn't the first song with lyrics that are highly critical of current trends in society. Mainly caused by social media.

@Jeff Ashenfelter right, thank you!

@Alotheus Isme it could be as simple as the fact that you can reach a way bigger audience online, so people are listening to your message. What are you going to do with it? It being your message to the audience. Us would be your audience.

Alotheus Isme

@Jeff Ashenfelter I absolutely agree with you! However I'm still confuse with
"You got us listening
So what you gonna do with it "

Who is 'us' ?
What does 'it' imply?

I've been a fan of them since pretty much from the beginning and there hasn't been a song that I didn't like (e. g. "Torn Apart" is not one of my favourites, but there's still something about it). I've always been more drawn to rockier songs like, well, "The Draw" or "Blame" though - like yes, give me more drums and bass! So, sure this is a bit different and I feel like the usual harmonies aren't really there, at least in THIS version. But it's ONE version of ONE song and I bet they'll nail it playing live. I mean helloo?? It's Bastille? ;)
Anyways, I appreciate this rockier side to them quite a bit and I'm VERY curious about what's coming next :))

Oh man, for years my favorite band was MUSE (I still love them so much) so while it's not exactly that kind of style, it reminds me of them... AND I'M HERE FOR IT!

Archie Faulkner-Lerway true but I doubt they would completely ‘tear apart their usual process’ just for the one song. Plus there’s merch already.......I reckon in the not too distant future (in the next few months) we may get another single and an album teaser......who knows
