Formed in August 2010 by a group of Shreveport, Louisiana natives, Super Water Sympathy is a five-member band comprised of five long-time friends. Comprised of brothers Billy and Clyde Hargrove, Ryan Robinson, Jason Mills and Ansley Hughes, Sweet Water Sympathy has been on two national tours, as well as the MTV series, "Caged." The group released their first album, "Vesper Belle" in August of 2011, and have since worked on writing and producing songs for a variety of groups, including "Chandelier" on B.O.B's newest album, "Strange Clouds."

Billy, 26, and Clyde, 28, decided to form the band while attending college at LSU. Billy had played bass in several bands throughout high school and college, while his brother took up the role as lead guitarist. The duo recruited their family friends, Ryan Robinson, to serve as the band's drummer. The three men worked with a variety of female vocalists to complete their group, but failed to find one that was a good fit. Eventually, Billy and Clyde's cousin mentioned a girl that might be interested. A few weeks later, the boys found a picture of Ansley Hughes on Facebook with a snake wrapped around her head and knew they had found the right girl. Jason Mills brought his keyboard to the group shortly after.

Since forming Super Water Sympathy, the band has performed on two national tours, including the 2012 Vans Warped Tour. The band has plans to tour again in the fall of 2012.

The band describes their style as a self-made genre, aptly named "Water Pop." The band's second album, which has not been released, was recorded with London-based music producer, Cam Blackwood, the same producer of several tracks by Florence and The Machine, Coldplay, and Morrissey.
