Grouplove Checks In With Fans: ‘What Mood Are You Today?’

On Monday, American indie pop band Grouplove took to Instagram to ask followers a simple yet engaging question: “what mood are you today?” The post features the group’s vibrant, candid snapshot and a plain-text caption that invites fans to share their current state of mind as the band prepares for its next big drop.

Band Checks In With A Mood Check

In the shared image, band members Hannah Hooper, Christian Zucconi, Andrew Wessen, Sean Gadd and drummer Benjamin Homola huddle together making expressive faces. The unfiltered vibe aligns with Grouplove’s signature energy—an off-the-cuff moment captured on camera rather than a polished, staged shot. By stripping back production, the band reconnects directly with its audience, reinforcing the communal spirit that’s driven them since their 2011 debut album, Never Trust a Happy Song.

Engaging Fans And Building Buzz

Since the post went live, fans have flooded the comments with emojis, mood declarations and GIFs. One follower wrote, “I’m feeling electric ⚡,” while another answered, “comfy and chill 🙂.” This digital dialogue underscores Grouplove’s knack for turning social media into a two-way street—an approach that’s fueled loyalty for more than a decade.

The band has built a reputation for interactive Instagram updates. Back in March, they teased an announcement simply captioned “something is coming…” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DHoy2xpR17A/). That cryptic post generated thousands of speculations before leading into their live album reveal.

Live Album And Tour Updates

Just last month, Grouplove officially announced their first-ever live album, Rock N’ Roll You Won’t Save Me (Live), set to hit stores May 30. Recorded at Chicago’s Riviera Theatre (with one track captured at L.A.’s Wiltern), the double LP highlights fan favorites such as “Colours” and “Malachi.” To celebrate the release, they’re hosting a special concert at Atlanta’s Terminal West on May 29, joined by Honeyknife, followed by an intimate in-store set at Criminal Records on May 30.

Earlier this spring, the group slowed down touring to focus on writing new material and tending to personal projects—including their communal garden. Yet they couldn’t resist appearing at the packed Just Like Heaven Festival in Los Angeles, where they joined peers under a heatwave for a day of sweaty, high-energy performances. “Thank you to everyone who came out in the heat to dance and sing,” they captioned their festival recap. “We genuinely love you all so much!” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJmuV-4xAOI/)

Since forming in 2010, Grouplove has carved out its place on the indie pop map with anthems like “Tongue Tied,” which cracked the Billboard Hot 100 and dominated streaming playlists. Their lineup of artists and close-knit crew emphasize visual art, DIY sensibilities and fan connection—qualities on full display in this latest mood check.

Fans anticipating the live album can pre-order the vinyl package, housed in special packaging designed by frontwoman Hannah Hooper alongside photographer collaborators. Early reviews of the singles point to a vibrant listening experience that strives to capture the atmosphere of a Grouplove show—crowd participation, both onstage and off.

By posting a simple mood prompt, the band reminds listeners that music is a shared experience—and that every emotion, emoji or offbeat reply builds the story of its next release. As the countdown to May’s live-album drop begins, Grouplove’s candid check-in serves as both a teaser and an invitation: join us, tell us how you feel, and get ready to sing along once more.
