You probably know them from the song “Chocolate” that became popular a couple years ago, however the 1975 is so much more than just that one particular song. They’re extremely innovative and creative producers, songwriters and musicians and have just released their tour dates for North America which kicks off in October. See you November 25, The 1975.

1. They cross all genres.

From songs like “Girls” and “The Sound” that are uber-pop to soft, melodic ballads like “Falling For You” and “Nana” to R&B influences in “If I Believe You," their music crosses all genres and they say they love that. They like to experiment with different sounds and don’t like to categorize themselves. Pop, alternative, electronic, rock - it doesn’t matter. All that matters is the incredible music.

2. They are original and innovative.

They have been together since when they were all in high school and their manager specifically set up a record label just for them because no one would sign them. Because of this, they make the type of music they want to and aren't tied down by anyone else's vision for them.

3. They are from the U.K.

Who doesn't love a great British boy band?

4. "Somebody Else" music video.

Just released a couple weeks ago, it already has over five million views and I think I may have contributed to about half of those. All I can say is just watch it.

5. The song “Robbers.”

This song in and of itself gives me the feels every time I listen to it. This is the one song I would have someone listen to if they have never heard the 1975 before.

6. Their live production/set.

For reference, “UGH!” music video.

7. How beautiful they are.

Aside from exuding talent musically, their looks definitely don’t hurt either. Pictured above from the GQ "Some of the most stylish men in existence" feature.

8. Matty Healy himself.

Watch any interview of frontman Matty Healy and he is absolutely mesmerizing. He is so intelligent, yet humble and incredibly well-spoken. He speaks from the heart and is so candidly honest and fervent about what he does. And he’s good to look at as well.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
