INTRODUCTIONS

Hey Stormers!


To kick things off, I thought I'd do the first post and what else than to start off with introductions!

Here are the basics if you don't know exactly what to say:

What's Your Name?

How Old Are You? (Optional)

Where are you from? (City/Country)

Tell us something unique or interesting about yourself?

What got you into Bastille?

If you could pick your top 3 Bastille songs, what would they be?

If you could pick your favourite Bastille Album/Mixtape, what would be No. 1?

What contributions will you hope to post to this group? 

=================================================================

I'll Start off shall I????

Hey, I'm Josh!
I'm a 21 y/o from South London. (yes the same side of London as the grand Daniel Smith).
Since 2014, I've had a strong passion of writing and producing music and now since 2018 I have my own band who will hopefully have an album coming out next year! :p in the meantime (as a shameful plug), why not check out our new single 'Come On', out in all streaming stores! - https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/dividedcompass/come-on?fbclid=IwAR3_BJetxpKbtI7SiVuACVQ6KIlnpU-2VHa6b82p78GDK7tyut0ktsRuDUE

I got into Bastille around 2017, just as World Gone Mad had come out and the promotion (or what we had of it) had just about started. My best friend and Co Producer had been into the band for a while during Wild World and in 2017 I think as a Christmas or Birth Present had gotten me All This Bad Blood and Wild World on CD's (I'm that retro) and since then I've had an ever growing love for the band.

If I was to list my Top 3 songs, I'd say...
1. Admit Defeat
2. Thelma + Louise
3. Lethagy

My No. 1 Favourite album would be Doom Days (This Got Out Of Hand Edition).

In terms of contributions, as someone who is very much into Music Production, I'd love to share some covers and just generally any knowledge I have from an industry aspect of the band :) and of course to ensure you all have a pleasant stay!

Now its your turn to introduce yourself, don't be afraid as we're all friends here (or will be) xD

heyo, i'm Abhi,
i'm 16, and from India. i came here from the Bastille subreddit, where Josh posted about this space, and i thought it'd be a great experience to check out this website and the group in here.

i've been writing and producing music for 4 years now, and i'm also gonna start a new solo project named "Rosabi" in 2022. also the debut singles are gonna be remixes of 3 Bastille songs from the GMTF era, which may also get featured on the Hindsight Project's upcoming mixtape (a project by some folks on the Bastille subreddit).

i got into Bastille in 2018 when they released QPM. i had known about them since 2015, when i heard Pompeii on a football videogame i used to play back then called FTS15. instantly became a fan of Dan's voice (he has a really non-mainstream voice ngl and i seem to like anything that isn't mainstream) and the instrumentation, been listening to them daily since then lol.

if i could pick my top 3 Bastille songs (for some reason, maybe someone's gonna throw me into an unknown island and leave me a solar powered cassette player with these 3 songs. I REALLY CAN'T PICK 3 SONGS, ALL OF THEM ARE GREAT) they'd be:

1. Glory
2. No Bad Days (Charlie's Piano Version)
3. Flowers

my favourite Bastille album would be Wild World, just because it's more cohesive than any other album/mixtape they've put out, like all of the songs in there have a common theme sonically.

as for what contributions i'd make, i'd love to share remixes, covers, recreations, edits, mashups, info about the song's production, i'd contribute possibly anything related to music cause that's the only awesome skill i have :').

and thank u Josh for creating this group! hoping to have a great time here!
