Death

White Lies are three 20-year-olds - Jack Brown (drums), Charles Cave (bass), Harry McVeigh (guitar, vocals). They purvey the sort of big music U2 and The Waterboys cut their teeth on. Some of their songs hearken back to the epic anthems of Scouse-rockers Echo & The Bunnymen and Teardrop Explodes. Or maybe they're closer to those early 80s groups like Tears for Fears who took the forbidding goth rock of Joy Division and turned it into commercial, brightened-up chart pop.
