Ross MacDonald is trading stadiums for saddle sores as he cycles 1,100 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise funds for Nordoff and Robbins.
Lyrics
You learn a couple things when you get to my age Like friends don't lie And it all tastes the same in the dark When your vinyl and your coffee collection Is a sign of the times You're getting spiritually enlightened at 29 So, just give yourself a try Won't you give yourself a try? Won't you give yourself a try? Won't you give? I found a grey hair on one of my zoots Like context in a modern debate, I just took it out The only apparatus required for happiness Is your pain and fucking going outside And getting STDs at 27 really isn't the vibe Jane took her own life at 16 She was a kid who had the box tattooed on her arm And I was 25 and afraid to go outside A millennial that baby boomers like Won't you give yourself a try? Won't you give yourself a try? Won't you give yourself a try? Won't you give? And what would you say to your younger self? Growing a beard's quite hard And whiskey never starts to taste nice And you'll make a lot of money, and it's funny 'Cause you'll move somewhere sunny And get addicted to drugs And spend obscene amounts On fucking seeds and beans online And so, just give yourself a try Won't you give yourself a try? Won't you give yourself a try? Won't you give?

Released into a world in turmoil, The 1975’s 'Notes On A Conditional Form' was messy-in-a-good-way, brilliant and overwhelmingly human. Five years on, it’s more vital than ever. To celebrate its anniversary, we’re republishing our original 2020 cover feature – in all its chaotic, confessional glory.

As their landmark second full-length 'i like it when you sleep...' turns nine years old today (Wednesday 26th February), we're republishing our December 2016 Album of the Year cover feature with Matty Healy of The 1975.

Matty Healy confirmed the news at the band's opening show of their Still... At Their Very Best tour last night (26th September).

The shows will take place early next year.

The shows will take place early next year.

Turning back the clock to a simpler time proves that - without the circus that's developed around them - The 1975 still know how to deliver.

Various formats will be released, including a live recording of the band's self-titled set in Gorilla, Manchester.

Let Matty, George, Adam and Ross explain everything you need to know about the band's new tour, as it hits London tonight (12th January).

With their fifth album, ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’, The 1975 turned inwards to push out.

We asked the band some of your questions. Here are the results.

What's the best album? What's your favourite song? What was your first show? If you could ask the band any question, what would it be?

As the band return to social media, with a "significant date" teased, we've been rounding up everything we know so far about the return of The 1975. Again.

What's DH01242? What does GHEMB stand for? What happened to that Drive Like I Do release? Where even are they? Here's everything we do, and don't, know about The 1975's current manoeuvres.

Every month, Dork's Listmaster General will bring us another of his Top 10 lists. Every month, we'll disagree. It's 'fun'.
