History

2021–2022: Formation, Are You Alright?, and Pebble Brain

Lovejoy was founded by William Gold and Joe Goldsmith in 2021. The two met from previously playing in the same folk group. [9] Gold previously gained a following online for his Twitch streams and YouTube videos, [10] as well as his solo music. [11] [12] The band was originally called "Hang the DJ". The current name is after Benedict Lovejoy, a friend of the band, who would sit with them during their early days of songwriting. [13] [14]

Before joining Lovejoy, drummer Mark Boardman had been studying editing at university, bass guitarist Ash Kabosu was working in TV broadcasting, and lead guitarist Joe Goldsmith was a tree surgeon. [15] Gold met Kabosu, a friend of a friend, in a Smashburger shop in Brighton, and asked him if he'd like to join the band. During studio recording, the band hired Boardman on Fiverr, and after watching him perform, Gold invited him to join as a permanent member. [15]

The band recorded their debut EP, Are You Alright? , in two days at Brighton Electric in March 2021. [15] [16] It was released on 8 May 2021, [17] [18] which saw Lovejoy debut at number 10 on Billboard 's Emerging Artists chart on 20 May 2021. [19]

Their second EP, Pebble Brain , was recorded in August 2021 at Small Pond Recording Studios in Brighton, [20] and released on 14 October 2021. [21] The EP peaked at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart. [22] The songs of this EP had the theme of failed romantic relationships, but also expand to political unrest. [23] In October 2022, the band issued their first two EPs, as well as their cover of "Knee Deep at ATP", to vinyl for the first time. [24]

Prior to their large concert and festival performances, Lovejoy performed unadvertised gigs under pseudonyms. [25] From November 2022, the band began to receive attention on mainstream radio, with airtime on BBC Radio 1, [26] [27] and on Dutch radio show "Welkom Bij De Club!" (transl. Welcome to the Club!). [28] Their songs have also been featured on BBC Music Introducing. [29] [30]

On 10 February 2023, Lovejoy released the single "Call Me What You Like" [31] through AWAL. The single peaked at number 32 on the Official UK Top 40 chart. [22] The song would later be featured on their third EP, Wake Up & It's Over , which was released on 12 May 2023 and debuted at number 5 on the UK Album Chart.

In May 2023, the band performed in London for a Spotify event titled Our Generation. They released two songs from the session as part of Spotify Singles, including an acoustic version of "Call Me What You Like" and a cover of "The Perfect Pair" by Beabadoobee. Gold said the band had "been huge admirers of Beabadoobee for a while now and love the melody of this song, so it was great to give it our own Lovejoy twist". [34]

In June 2023, the band appeared on the front cover of issue 77 of the music magazine Dork . [35] On 25 June 2023, Lovejoy performed at Glastonbury Festival on the BBC Music Introducing stage. [36] They have also performed at Rock Werchter, [37] TRNSMT, [38] [39] the Montreux Jazz Festival, [40] [41] Osheaga, and Lollapalooza. They performed at Leeds Festival on 25 August 2023, and Reading Festival on 27 August 2023. [42] [43] They started their Wake Up & It's Over Tour across the United Kingdom in September 2023, notably with James Marriott as a support act for the Birmingham, London and Manchester show.

On 2 October 2023, the band announced that their upcoming single "Normal People Things" would be released on 6 October 2023, after having previously teased the track in the week prior. The same day, they announced their Road to 100 tour. [44]
