Bastille (estilizado como B?STILLE) é uma banda de indie pop inglesa de Londres, formada em 2010. Eles começaram como um projeto solo do cantor-compositor Dan Smith, que mais tarde decidiu formar uma banda. O quarteto foi completado por Chris 'Woody' Wood, William Farquarson e Kyle Simmons. O nome da banda vem do dia da Queda da Bastilha, mesmo dia do aniversário de Smith.
Em dezembro de 2010, EMI Music anunciou que haviam oferecido Bastille um contrato com a Virgin Records.

EmG Tell me a piece of your history DC that you're proud to call your own EmG Speak in words you picked up DC as you walked through life alone. EmG We used to swim in your stories DC and be pulled down by their tide, EmG choking on the words DC and drowning with no air inside.
CG Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault EmD my dear, my dear, my dear. CG Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard, EmD my dear, my dear, oh dear.
GCD It is not enough to be dumbstruck; (Can you fill the silence?) GCD you must have the words in that head of yours. GCD And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
I can't take it anymore, GCD 'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck. (Can you fill the silence?)
EmG Tell me a piece of your history DC that you've never said out loud. EmG Pull the rug beneath my feet DC and shake me to the ground. EmG Wrap me around your fingers, DC break the silence open wide, EmG and before it seeps into my ears, DC it fills me up from the inside.
CG Now you've hit a wall and you're lost for words, EmD my dear, my dear, my dear. CG Now you've hit a wall and you hit it hard EmD my dear, my dear, oh dear.
