Original material bands usually cringe at the ubiquitous
question, "who do you sound like?" Unfortunately, if you want to get booked,
it's a question one must answer. Let's see… Tom is an avid Rush fan. Arthur
and Paul both agree on progressive, but where Arthur branches out to Goth
and Metal, Paul prefers Classical and vintage Captain Beefheart. Dave's
influenced by old pop radio hits. They all love King Crimson.
Where does that leave us? Well, Bastille's sound is vaguely reminiscent
of many harder edged and progressive 80's bands; sort of like Mission
UK-meets-a-younger-Peter Gabriel. On the other hand, video of an onstage
jam eerily recalls footage of the Jefferson Airplane during their heyday.
What is known for certain are two things; audiences respond enthusiastically
to Bastille's performances and dancing is frequently spotted in the
audience.
