Bring Me The Horizon are featured in a BBC Radio 1 piece in which they discuss their career and how far they have come. You can check that out at this location. During the chat, frontman Oli Sykes spells out the band’s sonic evolution over the years, insisting it was not forced:
“It wasn’t intentional to become an A-list radio band, it was just the music we like. We like pop music; we like catchy songs, but we also like heavy songs. None of it feels forced, none of it feels like we’re selling out. It’s real, and it’s good. It’s undeniably good, and I think that’s why people from the scene still respect us and new people are getting into it. I think it’s because it doesn’t feel like something we’re doing for any other reason than because we love it.”
The band themselves have faced their fair share of detractors over the years, with their latest albums being a considerable distance removed from their deathcore roots.
