We have a newfound love:\u00a0 Grouplove<\/strong>.\u00a0 We happened upon the band on a Carson Daly Show<\/strong> repeat.\u00a0 There we were just minding our own business, checking out Charles Bradley’s<\/strong> touching interview with Carson (Bradley killed with love at Soho last night–more on that soon<\/strong>), and then we scrolled forward and got completely tangled up in Grouplove.\u00a0 Every line rang true like it was written from Grouplove to us (‘cept that “weed” part).\u00a0 So far there’s nothing we don’t love about ’em (though the bass player’s look took us aback initially, and the drummer’s tony tank tops are a bit much).\u00a0 Let’s start with the vitalic vocal tics and lyrical bent of co-leader Christian Zucconi, who vocally has shades of Modest Mouse’s Ian Brock.\u00a0 Then mix in the Mates of State\/Hole vocal fashions and perfect harmonizing of co-leader Hannah Hooper.\u00a0 This is a duo that was born to sing together.\u00a0 And they hit it HARD<\/strong>.\u00a0 Their first album, “Never Trust a Happy Song<\/strong>” (ya hear that, Matt & Kim?), will be released on September 13th, and they open for Two Door Cinema Club at the Wiltern on September 22nd.<\/p>\n
