GIVERS is an indie pop group active since 2008 and is currently made up of Tiffany Lamson, Taylor Guarisco, and Josh LeBlanc. The band started when the first two got displaced from their school because of Hurricane Katrina and went home to start writing music. Others joined the group for an almost impromptu slot at a pub when another band dropped it. So still unnamed, they took it, and did well enough that the pub invited them back. The group is named after a song by a group called Lucky Dragons. They released an EP online in 2009, then got a lucky break of being selected as one of Dirty Projectors openers for their show in Baton Rouge, which led to them being brought on for the whole East Coast part of the tour. Their debut album came out in 2010, then they were invited to tour with Ra Ra Riot. They were signed in 2011, and released an album later that year. This song is from that album and it's been featured in all kinds of things, from sports games and TV shows, to tech announcements. In 2012 they did a couple of festivals, including Coachella and Lollapalooza. They brought out another album in 2015, and then an EP in 2018 so you guys can go check those out.
Peace.
