Grouplove

Los Angeles

Grouplove formed in Los Angeles in 2009. Hannah Hooper told Interview in 2016 that they nearly called themselves Group, but their label warned it would be hard to search. Christian Zucconi and Hooper share lead vocals, Andrew Wessen plays lead guitar, and Ryan Rabin drummed until 2017; Sean Gadd played bass until 2014 and Daniel Gleason has since. Their records were on Canvasback and Atlantic until I Want It All Right Now (July 7, 2023), released on Glassnote.

Never Trust a Happy Song (September 2011) reached 75 on the Billboard 200 and went gold in the US and New Zealand. Spreading Rumours (September 17, 2013) reached 21 and has "Ways to Go", which was number 2 on the alternative chart. Big Mess (2016), Healer (March 13, 2020) and This Is This (2021) followed, along with the covers EP Under the Covers (2015) and Little Mess (2017). "Colours" appeared in sports video games including Madden NFL 12 and FIFA 12.
