London Grammar

London Grammar are a British trip hop trio formed by Hannah Reid, Dot Major and Dan Rothman. Their début EP Metal & Dust was released in February 2013 by Metal & Dust Recordings Ltd. Their debut album If You Wait was released on 9 September 2013.

Vocalist Hannah Reid and guitarist Dan Rothman met in a residence hall at the University of Nottingham during their first year in 2009. Rothman saw a picture of Reid on Facebook with a guitar and sent her a message to see if she wanted to collaborate. Multi-instrumentalist Dot Major (keyboard, djembe, drums) was added later, after being introduced to the band by Rothman's girlfriend. The band began by playing low-key gigs at local bars. Several years later, the trio posted their song "Hey Now" on YouTube (as of October 2013, it has received over 1.5 million views).

Their EP Metal & Dust followed in February 2013, and it made the top five of the iTunes chart in Australia. They released their single "Wasting My Young Years" in June 2013, peaking to No. 31 on the UK Singles Chart. The band also featured on Disclosure's No. 1 UK album Settle with the track "Help Me Lose My Mind," released in June 2013. The band has recorded two live sessions for Radio 1 and they played at ten Summer 2013 European music festivals.

They released "Strong," which peaked at No. 16 on the UK Singles Chart. The following week, on the 9th, they released their début studio album If You Wait, which peaked to No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart.
