The 1975 Release Video For Robbers

28th Apr 2014

The 1975 are due to release their new single ‘Robbers’, on May 26th, through Dirty Hit/Polydor and you can check out the brand new video below.

“I got really obsessed with the idea behind Patricia Arquette’s character in True Romance when I was about eighteen,” lead singer Matthew Healy explains of the single. “That craving for the bad boy in that film it’s so sexualised. It was something I was obsessed with. ‘Robbers’ is about a heist that goes wrong – I suppose you can read it as a metaphor – and a girl who’s obsessed with her professional killer boyfriend. It’s a romantic ideal.”

After an appearance at Coachella the band are currently on an extensive US tour and will be returning to the UK for summer slots at Radio 1 Big Weekend, Isle of Wight, T In The Park, Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds.
