The frontman of Bastille, Dan Smith, expressed his frustrations at other artists and bands no longer being at "the forefront of protest" as they were in previous generations.

Speaking to 5 live's Nihal Arthanayake, the double-platinum-selling band's singer said after watching the second American presidential debate, they performed a US show feeling more "angry" than usual.

He said the band looked at each other on stage questioning whether they are "a political band".
