About Lovejoy

Lovejoy formed in Brighton, England in 2021 during lockdown. Frontman Will Gold (known online as Wilbur Soot) brought together guitarist Joe Goldsmith, bassist Ash Kabosu, and drummer Mark Boardman to create a band that channels the energy of classic British indie — think Arctic Monkeys, The Smiths, and Los Campesinos! — through a modern, internet-native lens. What started as a side project fueled by Gold’s massive online following quickly became a full-blown band with its own identity, sold-out tours, and a fiercely loyal fanbase.

The band’s debut EP Are You Alright? (2021) has amassed over 500 million Spotify streams, driven by fan-favorite tracks like “One Day” and “Sex Sells.” Their second EP Pebble Brain (2021) charted at No. 12 on the UK Albums Chart based on streaming alone, and the Wake Up & It’s Over EP (2023) debuted at No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart. In 2023 the band toured Europe (the Inselaffe Tour) and made their North American debut, selling 25,000 tickets in two minutes. Festival appearances at Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds, Isle of Wight, and Shaky Knees followed. Follow the band on Instagram, X, TikTok, and at lvjyonline.com.

One Simple Trick — The Debut Album

One Simple Trick was released on October 3, 2025 via Revolution Records, Warner Records, and the band’s own Anvil Cat Records. The 11-track album includes previously released singles “With Rob As My Witness,” “Pay & Display,” and “Common Touch,” which collectively earned nearly 5 million Spotify streams before the album even dropped. In the band’s own words: “One Simple Trick took four years of overthinking; we are excited to underthink it from now on.” Reviews praised the record’s blend of swagger and substance, with Express comparing the band to “the Arctic Monkeys meet a less miserable Morrissey.”
