After scoring  success with their chart topping single “Tongue Tied” and spending over two  years on the road supporting their 2011 debut Never Trust A Happy Song, Grouplove took less than a week’s break before beginning work on their new album, Spreading Rumours. Where most bands might opt to take more time off, the LA-based quintet found themselves invigorated and inspired by the energy shared with their fans and, perhaps more importantly, with each other whenever they took the stage. 

“On the first album, we probably only had about 10 shows under our belt, explains drummer Ryan Rabin.  “This time, we had over 600 and were playing as well as we could individually and as a group.  We wanted to transpose that energy into the studio."

“And whatever that intangible is that happens when we get in the studio or on stage, we just become one unit. That’s what’s special about it," continues bassist Sean Gadd.
