About Scouting for Girls
Scouting for Girls formed in London in 2005 as a trio of singer and pianist Roy Stride, bassist Greg Churchouse and drummer Peter Ellard, taking the name as a pun on Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2007, reached number one in the UK and carried the singles 'She's So Lovely', 'Elvis Ain't Dead' and 'Heartbeat'.
'This Ain't a Love Song' gave them a UK number one single in 2010, taken from the album Everybody Wants to Be on TV. The songs are piano-led and written around simple, repetitive choruses, often with a self-deprecating lyrical streak about romantic failure.
