  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: For a long time, "Grip" and "The Descent" were only performed live, never recorded. The versions on Other People's Heartache Pt.4 were different, and didn't cut it in the eyes of many fans. The original of "Grip" was finally released in 2019, but "The Descent" is nowhere to be found.
    • The first two parts of Other People's Heartache are not available from official sources, apparently due to legal issues over the covers present on the mixtapes. Both of them can still be easily found and downloaded though.
    • "Hangin'" and "Final Hour" were hard to find for a long time before they were finally released on This Got Out of Hand, the extended version of Doom Days.
  • Two-Hit Wonder: "Pompeii" charted at #5 in America, and for a while none of their other songs charted on pop radio in America (although they're more popular in their native UK and across Europe). They fared better on the American alternative charts with several hits there, and later single "Good Grief" saw minor pop radio airplay in 2016. Finally, in 2018, Bastille returned to the US top 40 by collaborating with Marshmello on his song "Happier".
