September 9th, 2016 - (Los Angeles, CA) - Grouplove today released their highly anticipated third album Big Mess via Canvasback Music/Atlantic Records. The album is available digitally HERE and physically HERE now.
 
To celebrate the release of Big Mess, Grouplove took to the airwaves earlier this week to perform the album's lead single "Welcome To Your Life".

Next week, the band will return to late night television to perform the track on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Tuesday, September 13.

Recorded in Los Angeles and Seattle with producers Captain Cuts (Grouplove's own Ryan Rabin) and Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, The Shins), Big Mess features the signature choruses and infectious hooks that first brought the Los Angeles quintet to prominence. No stranger to the worldwide festival circuit, Grouplove has made an album that showcases their richly narrated songs.

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).
