Florence + the Machine are already one of my all-time favorite bands 15 years later.

[@IIIIDCIIII]

I’m really digging this new band. They’ve earned that #1 spot. Also, I really hope that Florence doesn’t stay away for so long. It’s like a breath of fresh air for everyone when she comes back from a break. Florence is still young and hasn’t aged literally at all. I’ve noticed that she has grown into her voice so much over the years and really mastered her sound. You can hear how seasoned her voice has became from “Lungs” to “Dance Fever”. Both are equally amazing, but different. When Florence puts out a new album you never know what you’re going to get. It’s like Christmas morning. It’s always a new visual setting or theme and a different sound. That’s something that nobody does IMO.

This is lovely

Agh!! So proud of them all such a great band and will definitely go amazing places in the future. I feel so honoured to be able to whiteness this all from the very beginning

Love the new coven lol

[@tanyamccann1747]

Thanks for the warning.

Its not really Florence + The Machine is revealing the winner but just Florence Welch..the name Florence + The Machine is the BAND, she is the singer. Please get that right 😅

[@stateofkane]

You're right but "Florence + the Machine" is better for search analytics, just objectively speaking.

[@willh2616]

Jack Saunders is the best! I listened to their song nothing matters and I’m thinking half the lyrics don’t make sense. I much prefer a new song by a band called dust called guilt. I feel it has a lot more impact and meaning

Florence you can be Jesus.

[@canyoufillthesilence]

No hate to them but how did they manage to come up so quickly with so few songs and end opening for Hozier and Florence? Good connections in the industry?

[@Drummer1000George]

Here's another question, if the music is actually interesting, does it matter?

[@liamfeeney1086]

@@Drummer1000Georgesome would say "nothing matters" 😂

[@lukebp7]

They’ve been around for a while, playing gigs in and around London and gained a cult following which helped them. As always it’s a mix of immense talent and managed to grab onto the luck that came their way to help propel them. 100% deserved, they’re à phenomenal band

[@chaosasitswirls6125]

They’ve been around for yearsssss on KZbin! Their first official single also went viral on tiktok so that helps
