More on Fitz and The Tantrums

Multi-Platinum artists Fitz and The Tantrums have energized popular music and culture with a series of unshakable, undeniable and ubiquitous anthems and albums. Since 2008, the Los Angeles collective has magnified the scope of pop with a dash of indie, a dose of soul, and a whole lot of dancefloor-ready bounce.

The band’s catalog spans fan-favorite records such as “Pickin’ up the Pieces” (2010), “More Than Just A Dream” (2013), the Gold-certified “Fitz and The Tantrums” (2016), and “All the Feels” (2019). Along the way, they’ve impressively tallied just shy of 4 billion streams and counting, powered by enduring hits such as the four-times-Platinum “HandClap,” three-times-Platinum “Out of My League,” Platinum “The Walker,” and Gold “Moneygrabber.”

As an inescapable presence, Fitz and The Tantrums’ music has notably coursed through the mainstream conversation, soundtracking films on Netflix and national ad campaigns. Beyond standout performances everywhere from Coachella and Bonnaroo to numerous late-night television shows, they’ve consistently sold-out some of the most iconic venues in the world.

More on Neal Francis

The latest album from Neal Francis, “Return To Zero,” emerged from the kind of visionary fever dream that only the most masterful and inventive artists are capable of bringing to life. Amid a grueling tour schedule that found him playing nearly 400 shows from 2021-24, the Chicago-based singer/songwriter/pianist immersed himself in creating a beautifully strange entangling of timeless rock ’n’ roll and ’70s-era dance music, merging supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush and pulsating grooves – all constructed sans digital programming, in keeping with his devotion to all things analog.

Worlds away from the glitzy fantasia of archetypal disco, “Return To Zero” inhabits a far moodier atmosphere, and ultimately makes for the most thrilling manifestation of Francis’ peerless musicality yet.
