After selling over 5 million records in the US, being nominated for multiple awards, (and winning some!), and having MASSIVE hits with "Pompeii" and "Good Grief," it's safe to say that Bastille is a major force in indie/alternative pop music.

We all know the songs - "Pompeii" was practically inescapable in 2013 - but true fans (called "stormers") love more than just their catchy radio hits. They love the four (sometimes five) guys behind these songs, too! They're just a bunch of funny, smart, kind nerds!

Here are just twenty-five (of the many) little things Stormers love about Bastille!

1. Dan’s obsession with David Lynch

Look at that David Lynch shirt! He's such a fanboy, he's written multiple songs about the show "Twin Peaks!"


2. Kyle’s obsession with cats

That might be the greatest cat shirt I've ever seen (and he wears a lot of them)!


3. Woody’s hair

Disney Princess-worthy hair!


4. Will’s personality

"They don't call me the granny of rock for nothing." - Will Farquarson, "Help Me Chase Those Seconds" documentary


5. Charlie Barnes

He's just a touring member, not an official band member, but we love him as much as we love the rest of the band! (And he has a brilliant new song out!)


6. All the covers


They're all so brilliant! (But here are my 15 favorites!)


7. Dan’s dancing

It's terrible, but also incredibly adorable!


8. Kyle’s mustache

Look at how majestic it is!


9. When they speak in French

They're a British band, but they're named after a French holiday, so they've been trying to learn French!


10. Dan’s laugh

Any time he laughs, it's adorable, but it's best when he starts giggling while singing.


11. Dan pointing at things

There are so many pictures of him pointing at random things floating around on the internet. What a dork. (And there's a "Twin Peaks" reference with this one!)


12. The acapella version of "Overjoyed"


This particular performance seriously shows how incredibly talented these guys are!


13. Dan’s hair

It's always changing, but it never fails to defy gravity.


14. Dan’s pessimism

"How am I gonna be an optimist about this?"


15. Dan messing up his own lyrics… and lyrics to songs by other artists


He can't remember the lyrics to "Skulls" (one of the most underrated Bastille songs), or "bad_news," and he wrote them! And in the "This Is What You Came For/Bang Bang/I Knew You Were Trouble" mashup, he gets the lyrics to "I Knew You Were Trouble" COMPLETELY wrong. It's okay, Dan, we still love you!


16. Kyle’s overall fabulousness

The ultimate sassmaster.


17. The spinny videos


These videos were seriously one of the best parts of the Wild Wild World Tour! They're so adorable!

18. Will constantly forgetting the songs

"I'm in the band, I swear" - Will Farquarson, probably


19. When Dan drums

Just one of the many reasons "Of the Night" is one of the best songs to hear live!


20. The way Dan runs


It's adorable and hilarious!


21. The "Glory" music video


A cinematic masterpiece!


22. Will’s sarcasm

He's practically always like this. It's the best!


23. Their friendship

They're all actually super close friends! There's usually at least one hug during live shows! It's wonderful!


24. When Dan does the tip-toe thing while singing high notes

He stands on his toes anytime he sings a high note, and it's the most precious thing ever.


25. The band’s overall adorableness

Just look at them! How can you not love them?!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
