Brit Beat: Bring Me the Horizon’s Manager Talks Band’s Surprise Return and Supersized Streaming Success


Rock bands aren't usually streaming blockbusters, but with their new album closing in on 100 million, Bring Me the Horizon are a rare exception.

Rock music and streaming have rarely been a successful combination – but the surprise release of British metal stars Bring Me the Horizon ’s new album, “Post Human: Nex Gen”, is bucking that trend. Dates in Australia and Asia (where the band’s 2006 single “Patience” has been enjoying a viral moment on social media) are scheduled, while Dempsey hopes they will also make a long-awaited return to playing live in America. Harris’ show has proved a key influence on the growth of country this side of the Atlantic, being the first to play the likes of Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift and Luke Combs, although – in typical self-deprecating fashion – he tells Variety he was simply in the right place at the right time.
