Formed in California in 2011, The Neighbourhood quickly moved beyond the alternative scene from which they emerged. With charismatic frontman Jesse Rutherford at the helm and a visual aesthetic that became an integral part of their identity, the band soon established their place in contemporary pop culture.
Their breakthrough came with the single “Sweater Weather”, which featured on their debut album “I Love You.” (2013) and became one of the biggest alternative hits of its era. More than a decade later, the song is approaching 5 billion streams on Spotify and now ranks among the three most-streamed tracks in the platform’s history. Meanwhile, songs such as “Daddy Issues”, “Softcore”, “Reflections” and “You Get Me So High” have each surpassed one billion streams, demonstrating the remarkable staying power of their music and its continued appeal to a new generation of listeners.
The albums “Wiped Out!” (2015), “The Neighbourhood” (2018) and “Chip Chrome & The Mono-Tones” (2020) followed, with the band steadily developing their sound while retaining the dark, melancholic atmosphere that had become their trademark. After a lengthy hiatus, all five members reunited in the studio and returned in 2025 with “(((((ultraSOUND)))))”, their fifth studio album, born out of a freer, more spontaneous creative process.
Their return to the stage was accompanied by the biggest tour of their career, taking them to some of the world’s most prestigious arenas, including Madison Square Garden in New York, The O2 in London and Accor Arena in Paris.
