Grouplove announces tour
It’s official. Since Grouplove exploded in popularity after their tune “Tongue Tied” was featured on a major national itunes commercial, a North American tour makes sense. Their 2011 album Never Trust a Happy Song was their first full length too, can’t see where they go next! Check out tour dates here.
