Bastille’s track “Pompeii” has serious anthem rock potential. It’s somewhat reminiscent of The Killers and Pheonix, especially the latter’s song “1901.” Good, solid, 21st century rock.

The mashup “Sweet Pompeii” is actually quite original – it mixes “Pompeii” with Calvin Harris’s “Sweet Pompeii,” and adds in the famous marimba part from the American Beauty, which I’ve been waiting to hear incorporated into a pop track. I think I like this one almost as much as the original.
