GROUPLOVE can't stop taking "Chances" — new single out today

GROUPLOVE CAN’T STOP TAKING “CHANCES” — NEW SINGLE OUT TODAY VIA GLASSNOTE RECORDS — STREAM THE ROCK AND ROLL YOU WON’T SAVE ME TOUR  KICKS OFF NEXT WEEK WITH SUPPORT FROM BULLY  — SEE ALL DATES HERE LISTEN TO LATEST ALBUM I WANT IT ALL RIGHT NOW

“While the choruses across the record reach for the rafters just as much as they did on early breakout singles ‘Colours’ and ‘Tongue Tied,’ the themes on ‘I Want It All Right Now’ are largely comprised of candid meditations on what [the band] are reaching for in life...Rather than voicing these questions over minimal acoustic accompaniment, though, they’re competing with some of the band’s most energetic and experimental soundscapes to date...”

“That might be the real crux of ‘I Want It All Right Now’: a self-soothing exercise in appreciating that even if you’re not sure where you’re going, you’re still getting there.”

Today, indie rock mainstays GROUPLOVE release their frenetic new single “Chances” to kick off their headline North American tour. With the band’s vocalist/keyboardist Hannah Hooper at the helm, the new offering is an overstimulated, hallucinogenic, aggressive singsong. A band that transcends their ever-shapeshifting genre, GROUPLOVE too has evolved over the last decade, channeling their ecstatic energy into the deepest tensions of the human psyche, all while playing with the contradictions and complications of existing — Stream “Chances." With this new single following their 2023 album I Want It All Right Now, and smashing the bottle on the ship of the Rock And Roll You Won’t Save Me Tour, GROUPLOVE will spend the next month on a massive headline run with support from Bully. VIP packages for the tour include access to an intimate pre-show soundcheck performance and Q&A, as well as an exclusive fan zine designed by the band. The months of May and June will also see the band make stops at Wildflower! Festival and Bonnaroo. See all upcoming tour dates here and below.  “I’m reclusive, I get in my head a lot and I write a lot of lists,” Hooper shares. “I’m painfully aware that all the magic in my life happens when I’m not like this. When I take chances — big ones, small ones, scary ones… whatever they may be, that’s when I grow.” Press photo by Brantley Gutierrez  Multifaceted in her approach to artistry, Hooper has painted much of the band's artwork over the years, "Chances" included. GROUPLOVE's artwork has become almost as recognizable as their sound over the years, seeing the band work out the tensions of life through all mediums at their disposal. I Want It All Right Now’s album artwork features a seemingly perfect bombshell blonde in tears, with a swarm of photographers ambushing her. Symbolic of the stupefying nature of getting what you wanted but not feeling fulfilled, GROUPLOVE gives constant visuals to the emotions coursing through their music.   UPCOMING TOUR DATES February 28 - Seattle, WA - Showbox Sodo*  February 29 - Portland, OR - McMenamins Crystal Ballroom* March 2 - Oakland, CA - Fox Theater* March 5 - San Diego, CA - The Observatory North Park* March 6 - Anaheim, CA - House of Blue Anaheim* March 8 - Los Angeles, CA - The Wiltern* March 9 - Phoenix, AZ - The Van Buren* March 11 - Salt Lake City, UT - The Depot* March 12 - Aspen, CO - Belly Up Aspen* March 13 - Denver, CO - The Mission Ballroom* March 15 - Saint Paul, MN - Palace Theatre* March 16 - Chicago, IL - Riviera Theatre* March 17 - Detroit, MI - Saint Andrew’s Hall* March 19 - Columbus, OH - Kemba Live!* March 20 - Cincinnati, OH - Bogart’s* March 22 - Pittsburgh, PA - Roxian Theatre* March 23 - Philadelphia, PA - Franklin Music Hall* March 25 - Richmond, VA - The National* March 26 - Washington, DC - 9:30 Club* (SOLD OUT) March 27 - Washington, DC - 9:30 Club* (SOLD OUT) March 29 - Boston, MA - Roadrunner* March 30 - New York, NY - Terminal 6* May 17 - Richardson, TX - Wildflower!
