July 14, Bastille Day, the day that Dan Smith, songwriter/ singer, saw the light of day. And hop, the super hip London-based Bastille was also born. The excellent first three singles, "Flaw", "Overjoyed" and "Bad Blood" ride on tight hiphop beats, smooth electropop and a whole lotta catchiness and have catapulted this now mature four-strong, one-time bedroom project to the top of many an 'about to break' list.

In the UK they played the London club KOKO, cap. 1500, warmed up for the likes of Emeli Sandé and Two Door Cinema Club, and gave it all at Glastonbury, Reading and Isle Of Wight. On the mainland, Bastille got off to a great start at the Groningen showcase festival Eurosonic, and did so with verve.

The debut album (buy here) has just been released and the ABClub show on Wednesday has been sold out for quite some time, it’s clearly crescendo for Bastille.

Bastille already played an AB Session just a few weeks ago
