February 24, 2024 | Written by Sierra Madison

This release marks the beginning of GROUPLOVE’s eagerly awaited North American tour, showcasing the band's evolution and their knack for exploring the deepest corners of the human psyche through their music.

The tour, named "The Rock and Roll You Won’t Save Me," promises a month of electrifying performances across major cities, featuring support from the band Bully. Fans can look forward to a unique blend of intimacy and ecstasy, with VIP packages offering a closer glimpse into GROUPLOVE’s world. Take a look at all the tour dates here.

Hannah Hooper, the band's vibrant vocalist and keyboardist, reflects on the inspiration behind "Chances," emphasizing the growth that comes from embracing risk. “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.”

GROUPLOVE’s artistry extends beyond music, with Hooper's paintings, including the single's artwork, deepening the band's exploration of life's tensions. The latest album, "I Want It All Right Now," thematically dives into candid meditations on life's aspirations against a backdrop of the band's most dynamic soundscapes yet.

The upcoming tour dates span from late February through June, including performances at the Wildflower! Festival and Bonnaroo. GROUPLOVE’s journey with "Chances" and the tour underscores a message of boldness and introspection, inviting fans to join them in a celebration of music, art, and the magic of taking chances.

ABOUT GROUPLOVE:

On their new album I Want It All Right Now, GROUPLOVE offer up a body of work built on a raw but incandescent sound that vocalist/keyboardist Hannah Hooper refers to as “resistance pop.” As Hooper reveals, the Atlanta-based band’s sixth full-length emerged from a period of intense transformation for herself and her husband/bandmate, vocalist/guitarist Christian Zucconi. “For me this whole journey started with wanting or asking for certain things from the world around me, then slowly turning inward and realizing I needed to pay more attention to what was going on internally,” says Hooper. Over the course of 11 shapeshifting songs, GROUPLOVE’s debut release for Glassnote Records documents that progression from external searching to radical self-discovery, infusing each track with the wildly unbridled spirit the band has always embodied.

Produced by John Congleton (a Grammy Award-winner known for his work with St. Vincent, Regina Spektor, and Sharon Van Etten), I Want It All Right Now fully harnesses the ecstatic energy GROUPLOVE have brought to the stage on multiple international headline tours and at leading festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza. In a major leap forward for the band—whose lineup also includes bassist Daniel Gleason, guitarist Andrew Wessen, and drummer Ben Homola—the album explores the deepest tensions of the human psyche with equal parts tenderness, curiosity, and exacting self-revelation. A bold evolution of the defiantly sincere songwriting they first delivered on their 2011 debut Never Trust a Happy Song, I Want It All Right Now ultimately leaves the listener newly awakened to the wisdom and power of their own intuition.
