White Lies

I've always been a fan of this band, Harry McVeigh (lead vocals) has a unique voice that simply gives you those tingling feelings when you here something so good. They're always being compared to Joy Division, Talking Heads and Interpol. Surprisingly enough these bands are also my favourite, so if you also like these do check White Lies out. Their first album "To loose my life" released in 2009 was a great success, leading them to festival tours and gigs in America and the U.K, but yet this band is sometimes forgotten about just like Interpol, it's a shame.
Tongues have been wagging since White Lies announced the recording of their new album "Ritual" in 2010 which is due to be released the end of January this year. Most of people doubt White Lies can produce something better than their first album and this is always a tricky one. The same thing happened with Vampire Weekend, with their second album "Contra", many people were disappointed and when you have such success on your first album its a lot to live up too (i talk like I've had experience, but it's true!).
In amongst all the hype, White Lies' new release "Bigger than us" is a great track. The video however is just mad, a girl trapped in a giant chocolate bar, well I'll just leave you to watch the video for yourself. Enjoy.....
