**TV Girl** are an American band self-releasing music under the indie pop genre, sometimes referred as "hypnotic pop". The band was founded in 2010 at San Diego, California, and currently consists of band members Brad Petering (lead vocals), Jason Wyman (drums), and Wyatt Harmon (keyboard); usually with Jordana as a tour member.

In the early years of TV Girl, 3 extended plays, 1 mixtape, and 3 singles were released. The band released their self-titled debut EP in 2010, and then releasing another EP, *Benny and the Jetts*, a few months later. In May of 2012, their debut full-length mixtape, *The Wild, The Innocent, The TV Shuffle*, was released with a downloadable activity book. The mixtape would have been their debut studio album, but the band felt that the term "mixtape" sounded appropriate. Singles such as "Girls Like Me", "Diet-Coke", and "Average Guy (Blame)" were also released in TV Girl's early years.

Vanstravaganza 2012, was a fund to get the band their first touring van. One of the "prizes" for donation would be "unreleased demos". Those "unreleased demos" ended up being *Blurry Girls*, their first compilation album, which consisted of unreleased songs and demos. Though it had been considered a "lost album", the entire album was found a decade later. Their second compilation album, *Our First 2 EPs*, is a reissue of their first 2 extended plays, including a bonus track in the download. After their compilation release, their third extended play, *Lonely Women*, was released in 2013 and was written, recorded, and produced entirely by the band. The EP was also released on streaming platforms, but didn't get as much attention until about 2014.

In 2014, the band's debut studio album *French Exit* was released, which began a new era for the band. The album contains "12 songs about lost lust, too much love and not enough". It received positive reviews, some calling it "one of the most focused indie-pop albums of the [2010s]". The album received popularity a few years later, through social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube, which likely motivated the band to continue releasing music. A compilation/reissue of the band's first 3 extended plays, *Our First 3 EPs*, was released in 2015, and also included the "Girls Like Me" 7" single, *Our First 2 EPs* and three demos. This would be their final compilation album featuring past projects. In 2016, their second studio album, *Who Really Cares* was released on February 2016. It is "an album about sex, or lack thereof, and its consequences, or lack thereof" and contains 10 tracks. The album also received popularity and positive reviews.

In the later years of TV Girl, 3 collaborative albums, 2 studio albums, and 1 extended play were released. In 2018, *Maddie Acid's Purple Hearts Club Band*, a collaborative mini-album by TV Girl and Madison Acid, was released. In the same year, the band released their third studio album, *Death of a Party Girl*, which introduced songs with similar rhythms, yet contain deeper meanings in the lyrics. The album includes songs such as "Blue Hair" and "Cynical One", both of which were promoted in music videos. In March 2020, the band announced that they were going on tour in support of the "6.5 year anniversary" of *French Exit*, but the dates were later postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In May 1, 2020, the band released their fourth extended play, *The Night in Question: French Exit Outtakes*, which includes "outtakes" from French Exit, meaning that there were recordings during the French Exit sessions that did not make into the final release of the album. Two months after their EP release, *Aestheticadelica*, a collaborative album by BLOODbath64 and TV Girl, was released.

In 2021, after the pandemic was partially over, the band announced new dates for the French Exit 6.5 Year Anniversary Tour. In the same year, Brad Petering, lead singer of the band, acknowledged the positive impact TikTok has had on the band itself, and in particular, their album French Exit. On October 13, 2021, the band had announced that a collaborative EP with the band and American musician Jordana, titled as *Summer's Over*, was to be released, and a month later announced that vinyls of the EP were available to purchase. On May 16, 2023, the band announced that they would release a new album and announced tour dates in support. The album was then released on June 30, 2023, titled *Grapes Upon the Vine*, which introduces gospel music into the band. The album received mixed/average reviews.
