Scouting for Girls are an English pop rock band.[1] Their name is a play on the title of the 1908 Scouting handbook Scouting for Boys. The band was formed in 2005 by three childhood friends from London, Roy Stride on piano and lead guitar/vocals, Greg Churchouse on bass guitar and James Rowlands on drums.[2] They signed to Epic Records in 2007 and released their self-titled debut album that September and it reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart in 2008. To date, it has sold over 1 million copies in the UK.
Scouting for Girls worked on a second album, Everybody Wants to Be on TV, was released in April 2010 and peaked at number 2 on the Albums Chart. This was preceded by the single "This Ain't a Love Song", which went to number 1 on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks. The band went on to release a further five albums: The Light Between Us (2012), Still Thinking About You (2015), The Trouble With Boys (2019), Easy Cover (2021) and their most recent studio album, The Place We Used to Meet, which was released in October 2023.
To date, Scouting for Girls have achieved eight top 40 singles, sold over 4 million records in the UK[3] and received over 1 billion global streams. They have been nominated for four Brit Awards and one Ivor Novello Award.
