Grouplove
Band Los Angeles United States Formed 2009 American alternative rock band
Grouplove formed in 2009 in Los Angeles, United States. Grouplove has 130 chart appearances on 99 radio countdowns from 42 stations on RockLists, spanning 2011–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Tongue Tied”, which appears on 41 lists with a best position of #4. The station that charted Grouplove most often is CD101 (Columbus, OH), with 15 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2012.
Grouplove came together in Los Angeles in 2009, a five-piece with 3 lead singers and the loose, shout-along energy of a party that got out of hand in the best way. Christian Zucconi sang and played rhythm guitar, Hannah Hooper sang and played keyboards, Andrew Wessen handled lead guitar, Sean Gadd played bass and Ryan Rabin drummed and produced.
Rabin was behind the desk for their self-titled 2010 EP, which they first put out on their own. Then "Colours", a big, yelping, joyous thing, caught on, and Atlantic re-released the record. The debut album, Never Trust a Happy Song, followed in 2011 and opened only modestly, but it carried "Tongue Tied", a sugar rush of a single that went on to be certified five times platinum in the US, alongside the scrappier "Itchin' On A Photograph".
Spreading Rumours in 2013 kept the colour turned up with "Ways to Go" and "Shark Attack". Daniel Gleason took over on bass in 2014 and Benjamin Homola on drums in 2017, and the band kept going through Big Mess ("Welcome to Your Life"), Healer ("Deleter") and This Is This ("Deadline"), 6 studio albums in all by 2024.
