Grouplove first came together in 2009 and were quickly hailed for their standout live performances, both as headliners and at such international festivals as Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Reading + Leeds Festivals, and Glastonbury.  A year after releasing a self-titled EP in 2010, the band returned with their debut full length "NEVER TRUST A HAPPY SONG" featuring a trio of breakout singles - "Colours," "Itchin' On A Photograph," and the RIAA-certified platinum hit "Tongue Tied" which spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Alternative radio chart. The quintet's second full length album - 2013's "SPREADING RUMOURS" - was met with a raft of acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, Los Angeles Times, NYLON, and National Public Radio who called it "ludicrously easy to love."  As with all of Grouplove's recorded material, the collection was produced by the band's own Ryan Rabin, and was highlighted by singles "Ways To Go" and "Shark Attack."  In 2014, Grouplove contributed the original song "Let Me In" to  "The Fault in Our Stars - Music From the Motion Picture," the musical companion to the blockbuster film based on The New York Times bestseller. That same year, the band was tapped to create the theme song to the Netflix Original Series "BoJack Horseman." Last year, vocalist/keyboardist Hannah Hooper collaborated with Volcom for a Lady Grouplove capsule collection of clothing inspired by her personal style and artwork.


Grouplove is: Christian Zucconi (vocals, guitar), Hannah Hooper (vocals, keys), Andrew Wessen (guitar, vocals), Ryan Rabin (drums), and Daniel Gleason (bass).
