White Lies - Ritual The common definition of a simile is as follows: a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds. Harry McVeigh, lead singer of Ealing three-piece White Lies , knows a thing or two about them, as over the course Ritual you are beaten over the head with them. Within the first few minutes of opener Is Love alone we've already been told of 'hollows in your face like wishing wells' , blood that is 'as scarlet as a paper cut' [...]
"You went where the horses cry, you've never taken that way with me before. Did you feel the need for change? Guilt smeared across your lips, I was tired and cold from the window You're cold, nothing has changed." This settles it. White Lies are rock's saving grace though it doesn't quite know it yet. The new single Bigger Than Us is upon us and it feels like it's been an eternity since we've had something new to wax poetic about from the Lies but it's here and it's [...]

I White Lies , direttamente dal loro sito ufficiale, ci informano di aver annullato le restanti date del loro tour europeo per via di un problema alle corde vocali del cantante Harry McVeigh . Durante il concerto tenuto dalla band alternative rock britannica lo scorso 9 novembre a Monaco, infatti, McVeigh è stato colpito da un'improvvisa afonia che ha costretto lui e il resto del gruppo ad interrompere lo show. Nonostante le nuove date debbano essere ancora ufficializzate, lo staff dei White Lies ricorda a tutti coloro che hanno acquistato i biglietti [...]
Welcome back, readers! Who rocks the beat, rocks the show better than Kanye West ? Uhh, no one really. Last week I completed the two-part Under Cover - Sampling Edition which was, in essence, slight homage to my annual summer fling - danceable hip hop music. That love continues this week, even though I switched coasts to visit some very chill loves of my life in sunny California... or Cali-for-ni-ay, for all the Timbaland fans. My obligatory Facebook status update about my new whereabouts (... is in LA, trick) inspired a [...]
"It's who we are now, its definitely us, our band." When we were first introduced to White Lies last year we instantly connected with the haunting skeletal lyrics shrouded in pop-like melodies from To Lose My Life. White Lies seemed a bit of a mystery at the time with scarce and shadowy press pictures, but then all of a sudden To Lose My Life was #1 in the UK! In March we were thrilled to have attended the NME Tour featuring White Lies and Friendly Fires , a line-up that one [...]
On a chilly Tuesday night, Washington was treated to a musical doubleheader beyond compare – two of Britain's hottest bands, White Lies and Friendly Fires , supported by the SoCal band the Soft Pack . Most bands wouldn't choose to start a North American tour here – which made the opening date of the "NME Presents Tour" in D.C. all the more special. I first heard the Soft Pack 's "Nightlife" a while ago on Steve Lamacq 's show on BBC Radio's alternative station, 6music. In February, they [...]
Let me preface by saying that I love White Lies. Ok, so you may have anticipated this won't be the most objective review ever but who cares it'll still be fair. I've been into this band ever since I saw them support Crystal Castles just a week after 'Unfinished Business' was released. I'd heard good things about them but nothing could've prepared me for the performance I saw - it was jaw dropping. Simple yet majestic, dark but ethereal, in much the same way as their debut, coming just 8 months later. But it feels so much longer because we [...]
