The band formed in February 2005 by Adam and played their first gig (a set of covers) at a MYB in Macclesfield two days later (the gig was actually booked before they had a drummer). They were received very well and all five guys decided to take things seriously (the idea had originally been just for the one show). A couple of months later and Drive Like I Do (or Me and You vs Them at the time) started to write original material and since then have recorded two 4 track demos, one in July at the Cutting Rooms in Manchester and the latest in Newcastle in October

@enzoeem

Diego Gamez No their a mix of emo and indie. Their old Drive Like I Do stuff were pop punk/emo their new stuff are a bit on the pop side but still have the emo roots on them thats why their sooo good. Unlike Fall Out Boy they sold out terribly bad way worst than the 1975 now 😂

@diegogamez5935

im pretty sure the 1975 are pop now. nothing wrong with it. They grew up playing punk, metal, and 80s music but at the moment they are pop.

Seriously annoyed with all these ppl saying this isnt the 1975. Look up any Drive Like I do song by them. Look up their song "penelope". It's clearly matty, their old stuff was a bit more grunge/rock before they found their sound

@drainedeyes4268

7y↑7

What's shit about this? This shit sounds badass as fuck. The vocals he's doing really aren't easy to pull off the way he's doing, and fall out boy was rooted in hardcore, so it wouldn't surprise me if the 1975 came from a hardcore punk background too and did this cover wanting to make it less squeaky. There's a good reason Patrick stopped singing like spongebob hahaha

@johnwtstanley

8y↑12

this is them, just when they were a lot younger, like 15/16 ish. matty had a much different singing voice when he was younger and tried to hide his british accent. listen to him playing halleujah when he was younger and youll hear the similarities

@zzzkomorebi

His voice has changed a lot, if you listen to the video of him singing Hallelujah from however long ago you can see the similarities in the voice in this video to that one.

+hulla balloo If you hear their old stuff you can see the resemblances, he used to have a very raw punk voice. If you hear their song 'Shoot out at the university fair' you will notice it.

@przekwitanie

+Fowsia Ahmed i like their older stuff and know it quite well (as well as one can, considering the circumstances) - that is why i can't believe it's his voice. i hear him in "shoot out", i can't hear him here. but i am by no means a critic, so i am not going to insist.

@josielennon9356

this is definitely matty's voice, yes it sounds extremely different but if you listen you can clearly hear that it's him

@tyannselph144

8y↑22

+jerometarriela well it is early the 1975, like when they were around 15, so of course his drumming would be sloppier lol. Also you can hear mattys voice in this.

They weren't called The 1975 at the time, it's a rather old cover and they went through several name changes before becoming The 1975, but it is the same band that eventually became The 1975
