Busted have spoken to Louder about their appearance at this summer's Download festival, acknowledging that playing at the spiritual home of metal, Donington Park, represented a "huge journey" from their pop roots.
The Essex pop-rock trio were one of the most successful bands of the early noughties. Released in 2002, their self-titled debut album sold in excess of 1.2 million copies, spawned a UK number one single in You Said No, a number two single, Year 3000, and two number three singles, What I Go To School For and Sleeping With The Light On. Their second album, A Present For Everyone, released the following year, included three UK number one singles, Crashed The Wedding, Who's David, and Thunderbirds/3am, and sold almost a million copies in the UK alone.
