Fitz and The Tantrums are an American indie pop and neo-soul band that burst onto the music scene in the late 2000s, quickly establishing themselves with their exuberant blend of soulful vocals, catchy hooks, and punchy brass sections. The band was formed in Los Angeles in 2008 by lead vocalist Michael Fitzpatrick, also known simply as Fitz, who assembled an eclectic group of musicians including Noelle Scaggs (co-vocalist), James King (saxophonist), Joseph Karnes (bassist), Jeremy Ruzumna (keyboardist), and John Wicks (drummer). They captured the public’s attention with their debut album, "Pickin' Up the Pieces," in 2010, which was praised for its Motown-inspired vibes and was followed by the success of their 2013 hit single “Out of My League.”

Their high-energy, soul-influenced music has continued to evolve over the last decade, maintaining relevance and a steadfast fan base through relentless touring and a consistently vibrant discography. In recent years, Fitz and The Tantrums have expanded their sound, incorporating more electronic and pop elements, engaging audiences with tracks like “HandClap” and “The Walker.” Their recent releases, such as "Let Yourself Free" and the danceable single "Moneymaker," accompanied by various remixes from artists like Galantis and Phantogram, demonstrate the band's ability to blend genres and collaborate creatively. They celebrated the holiday season with festive tracks "Perfect Holiday" and "Give Love This Year," showcasing their versatility and knack for feel-good, anthemic music that resonates across generations. Fitz and The Tantrums continue to showcase their signature blend of retro influences and modern pop sensibilities, ensuring their presence in the contemporary music landscape remains both impactful and dynamic.
