Bad Blood is the debut studio-album by British band, Bastille. It was released in the United Kingdom on 4 March 2013, and features the singles; "Overjoyed", "Bad Blood", "Flaws", "Pompeii", "Laura Palmer" and "Things We Lost in the Fire". The album was recorded in London, UK, and produced by Mark Crew and Dan Smith. The record debuted at number-one in the United Kingdom.

Singles

  • "Overjoyed" was the first single to be taken from Bad Blood. Due to a release with little promotion, the track failed to chart in the United Kingdom.
  • "Bad Blood" was the second single to be released from the album. It reached a peak of number-ninety in the UK Singles Chart, yet fell out of the chart the following week.
  • "Flaws" was the third single to come from Bad Blood. It became the band's first single to chart within the Top 40 in the UK. It charted at twenty-one, and also charted in Scotland and Belgium.
  • "Pompeii" was the fourth single taken from Bad Blood. It has become their best-selling single, and most successful international release to date, debuting at number-two and becoming the group's first top-five hit. It also gave Bastille their first number-one single, charting atop the chart in Scotland and Ireland.
  • "Laura Palmer" was the fifth single released from the album on 3 June 2013.[3] In an interview with Digital Spy in March 2013, lead vocalist, Dan Smith confirmed this.[4] A video for the track was released through the band's official Vevo page on 12 April 2013.[5]
