Fresh off the success of their recent single, ‘Golden State’, alternative band Charming Liars are back with another new track. ‘Blame’ is out now and available here: https://ffm.to/cl_blame.
On the new song, the band shares: “’Blame’ is an expl
osive anthem asking for one more shot at love from your last late night call. What happens when the lights fade and the drinks dry up? When your memory starts to dive deep into the wreckage of lovers past? Blame.”
Charming Liars’ evolution began in London’s West End when guitarist Karnig Manoukian and bassist Mike Kruger were still in their teens. Both came from homes with wide ranging and eclectic musical tastes, and that early exposure informed their approach to making music.
They started writing and playing together in a series of bands and honed their musicianship with several tours up and down the U.K. In 2013 they decided to make the move to Los Angeles, in part spurred on by an encouraging social media message from songwriter and producer John Feldmann (Panic! at the Disco, Plain White T’s, 5 Seconds of Summer, Blink-182) – who told them to look him up for a songwriting session if they were ever in town.
The two connected with vocalist Kiliyan Maguire through a mutual friend while he was attending The Musicians Institute in Hollywood. Through initial conversations that lead to songwriting and then recording sessions – the 3 realised that they had an organic musical chemistry that would lead to interesting possibilities.
2019 proved to be a breakout year for the band, who released their debut album, Thought, Flesh and Bone, a follow-up acoustic EP, Bare Bones, and closed the year with a live collection titled Live 2019.
They also headlined shows on the West Coast, toured Europe with The Faim, crossed the US as direct support for Angels & Airwaves and recently supported Palaye Royale on their UK and European tour, which was sadly cut short due to the global COVID-19 crisis.
The cancelled European dates have now been rescheduled for August and September this year, for full list please see below.
Charming Liars look to continue this success with a series of upcoming singles, including the recently released ‘Golden State’.
