La música alternativa es uno de los estilos musicales más populares a nivel internacional. El rock alternativo fue producido como una alternativa a la música a finales de los 80 y principio de los 90. Siendo en esta última década donde alcanza gran aceptación por parte de los amantes de la música, y esto se debió en gran medida a la colaboración de bandas punk de los años 70 y 80. La baja en popularidad del rock alternativo fue debido a la sobresaturación del mercado causado por los ejecutivos de compañías disqueras quienes solo pensaban en ganar plata.
The 1975 son una banda indie inglesa originaria de Manchester. El grupo está compuesto por el vocalista principal y guitarrista rítmico Matthew "Matty" Healy, el guitarrista principal Adam Hann, el bajista Ross MacDonald y el baterista George Daniel.
Los orígenes de la banda se remontan a sus días en la escuela secundaria Wilmslow High School y su convivencia siendo adolescentes en 2002. Unas presentaciones organizadas por el ayuntamiento local llevaron a la banda a firmar formalmente como 1975. Su nombre fue elegido inspirado en un libro de poesía de Jack Kerouac. Eventualmente firmaron un contrato discográfico después de su éxito con los sellos Dirty Hit y Polydor Records.
