White Lies (lead singer, rock, debut album, single, album)

right-track · 01-01-2009, 08:39 AM

With only a single and an EP release to date ('Unfinished Business') and a very good EP at that. I'm liking this band already.
New album due out this month 'To Lose My Life'.

They cited Talking Heads as a major influence...lead singer McVeigh's singing voice has been compared to that of Ian Curtis (not so much him) and Julian Cope (definately him though). wiki

yeah I like what I've listened so far by them, and I'm looking forward to their album release. "Unfinished Business" is a masterpiece imo.

spark. I think it was you who has already mentioned this band in another thread?
They deserve a thread of their own, especially if they do as well as I hope they will, but beware! I've got a nasty habit of jinxing a band to obscurity.

I would'nt mind checking out the E.P

spark10036 · 01-01-2009, 02:31 PM

yeah, I think I mentioned them in a threat about 2009's Arctic Monkeys. I just hope none of us jinxes them...

As far as I know what's on the myspace link is all they've done until the new album this month.

And what's with the huge avvy mate?
