Reid and guitarist Dan Rothman met in the dorms of Nottingham University where they began writing music together in 2009 and later added multi-instrumentalist Dot Major to complete the lineup. The following years saw them refine their sound with atmospheric electronics and subtle percussion and they often played to rooms of no more than ten people. Their popularity rose with the 2012 release of "Hey Now" which they uploaded to the internet and instantly found an online cult following. Their fans were not just in the U.K., but also on the other side of the world in Australia, where their self-released 2013 debut EP Metal & Dust reached the Top 5 of the iTunes chart. The same year they signed to Ministry of Sound and the single "Wasting My Young Years" appeared as the first release on the label. 2013 also saw them play a sold-out show at the Islington Assembly Hall and make an appearance at the Great Escape Festival in Brighton. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2013 31 Wasting My Young Years -1- 2013 16 Strong -2- Album Discussion Here
October 6, 201312 yr "Strong" by London Grammar is a strong contender for my favourite song of 2013. Will be interesting if I decide to stick it at #1 come December.
October 6, 201312 yr So there's "so much crammed in" and she's got to "keep going as fast as possible", yet there's still time for a pointless trailer for a BBC2 TV programme?
October 6, 201312 yr That can't be a rule. People like David Guetta, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, etc. had all theirs charting. The difference being that they released their album tracks as "singles", whereas with Katy Perry if you pre-order PRISM, Dark Horse and Walking On Air start downloading immediately.
October 6, 201312 yr 'Strong' is really good, I need to give London Grammar's album a listen soon. :wub:
October 6, 201312 yr Strong is my favourite song in the charts, really beautiful track that just grows more with every listen. :wub:
October 6, 201312 yr London Grammar has grown on me so much over the past few weeks. Hope their single with Disclosure can do well in the next few weeks or so!
October 6, 201312 yr Someone told me they thought London Grammar sounded like M People. Interestingly, that person was once in a band with the guys from 2 Door Cinema Club.

Dominique Young Unique) [WestFunk & Steve Smart Club Mix] Biography Born in 1977, Dan Stein, aka DJ Fresh, is one of the most influential figures on the U.K. drum'n'bass scene. Influenced by tapes brought back from illegal raves by older friends, he bought his first turntables in his teens, and while at university, started playing late-night sets on local pirate radio stations. In 1999, as part of the drum'n'bass collective Bad Company, he founded record label BC Recordings and the scene's most popular website, Dogs on Acid. After leaving to pursue a solo career, he remixed tracks for Pet Shop Boys, DJ Shadow, and Apollo 440, and founded the Breakbeat Punk label, which later merged with Adam F's Kaos Recordings to become Breakbeat Kaos. In 2006, he released his debut album, Escape from Planet Monday, and four years later, follow-up Kryptonite produced his first hit single, "Gold Dust," which reached number 24. Building on the commercial success that Kryptonite brought, DJ Fresh released the single Louder, the track - used in a Lucozade advertising campaign - became the first dubstep single to reach the top of the UK singles chart. 2012 saw the release of Fresh’s third studio album, Nextlevelism, which featured collaborations with Rita Ora, Dizzee Rascal and Juliette Lewis. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi / iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): DJ Fresh 2003 58 Signal/Big Love (Fresh BC) 2003 60 Dalicks/Temple Of Doom 2004 73 Submarines -1- 2004 74 Colossus/Hooded (Fresh BC) 2004 68 When The Sun Goes Down (DJ Fresh Feat.

October 6, 201312 yr Someone told me they thought London Grammar sounded like M People. Interestingly, that person was once in a band with the guys from 2 Door Cinema Club. I hear more Sarah Cracknell [saint Etienne] than Heather Small. Edited October 6, 201312 yr by Ne Plus Ultra
October 6, 201312 yr The difference being that they released their album tracks as "singles", whereas with Katy Perry if you pre-order PRISM, Dark Horse and Walking On Air start downloading immediately. Isn't that similar to the David Bowie situation at the beginning of the year? 'Where Are We Now?' was a single but it was still available free if you pre-ordered the album.
