Formed in 2009, Family Of The Year - Joe Keefe, Sebastian Keefe, James Buckey & Christina Schroeter - has accomplished a healthy dose of success in such a short amount of time. After years of "cohabitating" in a run-down house and relying on each other for inspiration and support, the members of the Los Angeles outfit have formed unbreakable bonds that are undeniable in their infectious live performances and prolific songwriting.

The band has already played sold-out shows in England and across Europe, including a triumphant set at France's largest music festival Les Vieilles Charrues, & garnered support stints with Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Mumford & Sons, Grouplove, Milo Greene & most recently with Belle Brigade & Good Old War. Early supporters have included NPR, Guardian UK, NME, CMJ & the BBC to name a few.

With their hit single, "Hero", Family of the Year has made a run of late-night TV appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Conan, and two episodes of Last Call with Carson Daly. The single peaked at #12 on the Billboard Alternative Songs Chart. On the radio, "Hero" reached #1 on the Triple A Top 30 Radio Chart and Top 15 at Alternative Radio. The song was also prominently used in Richard Linklater's 2014 film Boyhood.
