Sep 8, 2011Never Trust a Happy Song is far from a cohesive album, but that actually works to its advantage--because it encapsulates the ups and downs, the joys and sorrows, of this emotional rollercoaster known as life.

Alternative PressSep 13, 2011Hopelessly happy, Grouplove should be required listening in seemingly hopeless times. [Oct 2011, p.107]

-
Sep 8, 2011A lot of them work; and some fall short. But even with that being said, for a debut, it's a fun, promising effort from a band who has already established themselves as a live show mainstay in the indie realm.
