Whatever you were expecting from The 1975, it probably wasn't 'People'

Wow. That's the reaction Dork HQ had when we first heard the new song from The 1975. And that's not us playing "we heard this before you" twat bingo. It's a marker of just what an unexpected - but welcome - delight 'People' is. Strap yourself in, Dear Reader. This is gonna get loud.

The first single to be lifted from the band's forthcoming fourth album 'Notes on a Conditional Form', 'People' isn't your standard The 1975 track, if such a thing even exists anymore. Instead, it's a full on, raw and ready punk assault. Bands this big don't make decisions this brave, but then most bands aren't The 1975.
