Neighbourhood
Band Newbury Park United States Formed 2011 indie rock, avant‐garde, and alternative hip hop band
Neighbourhood formed in 2011 in Newbury Park, United States. Neighbourhood has 59 chart appearances on 46 radio countdowns from 26 stations on RockLists, spanning 2012–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Sweater Weather”, which appears on 35 lists with a best position of #2. The station that charted Neighbourhood most often is The Buzz (Burlington, VT / Plattsburgh, NY / Montreal, QC), with 9 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2013.
The Neighbourhood drifted out of Newbury Park, California, in 2011, a five-piece with Jesse Rutherford crooning out front, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels on guitars, Mikey Margott on bass and Bryan Sammis on drums. "Sweater Weather" first surfaced on the 2012 EP I'm Sorry..., and it's the whole pitch in one song: a chilly, slow-rolling beat, reverb for days, and a hook that curls up like smoke. Another EP, Thank You, followed before Columbia signed them for the 2013 debut album I Love You., where the moody stalk of "Afraid" sat alongside it.
Brandon Fried took over the drums in 2014, and the band kept tinkering with its noir-pop formula on Wiped Out! in 2015, home of "R.I.P. 2 My Youth", then a self-titled third album in 2018 and Chip Chrome and the Mono-Tones in 2020. In February 2022 the band was reported to be going on an indefinite hiatus after Fried was removed; he faced sexual misconduct allegations involving María Zardoya of The Marías. In August 2025 they signalled a return, with Fried back in the lineup.
Meanwhile "Sweater Weather" refused to go away, surging back on radio and Spotify nearly a decade after it first appeared.
