Scouting for Girls

The whimsical indie pop group Scouting for Girls formed in 2005 in London, playfully modeling their name after the Boy Scout Handbook (Scouting for Boys), published in the early years of the 20th century. Members Greg Churchouse, Peter Ellard, and Roy Stride signed with Epic Records in early 2007 and released their first single, 'It's Not About You,' that June.

The trio's self-titled debut reached the top slot on the U.K. album charts owing to singles as 'She's So Lovely,' 'Elvis Ain't Dead,' and 'Heartbeat.' Scouting for Girls returned to the studio in 2009 and released their second album, Everybody Wants to Be on TV, on Epic. In 2012, they issued the single 'Summertime in the City,' which heralded the release of their third studio album, The Light Between Us. The group celebrated their tenth anniversary in 2017 with an exclusive show at London's intimate Bush Hall. 2019 found the trio playing to their biggest crowds yet while touring behind the album, spurring them on to make their fifth studio album, Trouble with Boys, which sought to recapture the energy of their debut.
