Chvrches was one of the bands that took ahold of me in early 2013. First off, any band or act that has a powerful female lead singer will get my attention almost right away. See Florence & The Machine, Of Monsters & Men, Tove Lo, The Naked & Famous, Charlie XCX, Alabama Shakes, etc. I could go on, but I’m nearly positive you get the point I’m making.
Chvrches (Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, Martin Doherty) dropped their freshman campaign, The Bones of What You Believe in 2013 and thanks to singles “Lies,” “Recover,” and “The Mother We Share,” it became a monster success here in the United States as well as in Europe and the UK.
Their sophomore effort, Every Open Eye drops September 25 and if the few singles that have already been released are any indication, the band will pick up right where it left off.
However, before that album is released on Friday, the band stopped by BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge to perform a live cover of Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?”.
