GROUPLOVE's "Never Trust A Happy Song" Can Sure Feel The Love!

From the peppy clap opener of "Itchin On A Photograph" to the sad acoustic closer "Close Your Eyes And Count To Ten" this Album does not disappoint. For a band that's only been around since 2009 they are quickly making a name for themselves. Newest hit "Coulors" has been featured on both Madden 2012 and Fifa 2012.  You may also have heard their song "Tongue Tied" featured in the newest IPAD commercial.
But one of the most esthetic features of the band is possibly the story of their formation. The members met at an artist residency in Crete, the very beautiful island off of Greece. Without getting in to too much detail the Group eventually parted ways back to their several residencies in NY, LA, and England sending emails of "Grouplove" back and forth before meeting in LA to record a self titled EP in 2010.
If that's not enough frosting on the cupcake the band includes the son of singer/songwriter Steve Gadd of UK band Stray, Sean Gadd. Oh and the son of former Yes guitarist Trever Rabbin, Ryan Rabbin.
