Bastille's Dan Smith - Scream 3, Glastonbury and Mr Blobby

On the newest episode of Before They Knew Better, we sit down with chart-topping frontman Dan Smith of Bastille to toast his current position as David Attenborough's Planet Earth III house band (sort of) and the intense levels of adorable nerdiness that populated his teenage years before that. From setting up a Scream 3 fan forum to donning a tiger onesie for Bastille's first ever Glastonbury gig, it's a wonder he turned into the cool guy that he did, but it just goes to show: even if your first single was Mr Blobby, there's hope for you yet. Enjoy!
