GIF Interview Years & Years: Bandmates or Best Mates
For the electropop trio Years & Years, the word bandmates is synonymous to best mates. After touring Europe and the U.S, landing two singles at the top of the U.K. charts and snagging a spot on the stage of this year’s Governor’s Ball, you’d expect the guys were close. But how well do Olly, Mikey and Emre really know their bandmates?
Using GIF magic, we asked the guys on intimate facts about their bandmates during their stay at W New York – Union Square. From what Olly sings in the shower to the color of Mikey’s underwear, it turns out that Years & Years know each other better than they even know themselves.
