Lovejoy are an English indie rock band from Brighton, formed in 2021 by vocalist and guitarist Will Gold (known online as Wilbur Soot), lead guitarist Joe Goldsmith, bassist Ash Kabosu, and drummer Mark Boardman. Gold's existing fanbase from YouTube and Twitch gave the band an unusually fast start - their debut EP Are You Alright? racked up nearly 500 million Spotify streams, and subsequent EPs charted at #12 and #5 on the UK Albums Chart. Their debut full-length album One Simple Trick followed in October 2025 via Warner and Revolution Records, backed by a sold-out 27-date North American tour.
Lovejoy announced the new EP Second to One and released its lead single 'Alphabet (Wasted Summer)' via Warner Records on 6 July 2026.
Lovejoy played a three-date Spring EU mini-tour in April 2026, with shows in Poznań and Warsaw (Poland) and Istanbul (Turkey).
Lovejoy released their debut full-length album One Simple Trick on 3 October 2025 via Warner and Revolution Records, then completed a sold-out 27-date North American tour through November.
The band released 'With Rob As My Witness', the first single from One Simple Trick, on 20 June 2025.
In February 2024, allegations of physical abuse were made against frontman Will Gold by his ex-partner; Gold issued a public statement acknowledging his behaviour and said he had sought therapy.
