The Neighbourhood

The Neighbourhood (abbreviated as The NBHD) is an American alternative rock band formed in Newbury Park, California, in 2011. The band is composed of vocalist Jesse Rutherford, guitarists Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels, bassist Mikey Margott and drummer Brandon Fried. After releasing two EPs, I'm Sorry... and Thank You, the Neighbourhood signed with Columbia Records to release their debut studio album, I Love You. (2013). "Sweater Weather", the album's third single, became their sole entry on the Billboard Hot 100—peaking at number 14—and re-surged in popularity nearly a decade later on radio airplay and Spotify. Other notable hits from the band include "Afraid", "Daddy Issues", "Softcore", "You Get Me So High", "Reflections" and "The Beach". The same year, the EP The Love Collection was released, followed by a mixtape titled #000000 & #FFFFFF in 2014. The band's second studio album, Wiped Out! was released in 2015. In March 2018, their self-titled third studio album was released, preceded by the EPs Hard and To Imagine, and followed by the EP Ever Changing. Tracks from these EPs not included on the final album were later compiled into the LP Hard to Imagine the Neighbourhood Ever Changing. In February 2022, it was reported that the band was taking a hiatus, following the removal of lead drummer Brandon Fried, who faced allegations of sexual misconduct involving María Zardoya of The Marías. In August 2025, they posted a story indicating their return to creating and releasing music, with Fried rejoining the band. Lead singer Jesse Rutherford began a solo career in 2016 and signed a solo contract with Atlantic Records in March 2023.
