The Profile

White Lies are an English post‑punk revival trio from London, formed in 2007 by Harry McVeigh, Charles Cave and Jack Lawrence‑Brown. Their debut album To Lose My Life... topped the UK Albums Chart in 2009, and subsequent releases expanded their dark, synth‑laced sound.

Formed in Ealing, London in 2007; formerly known as Fear of Flying. Core members: Harry McVeigh (vocals, guitar), Charles Cave (bass, lyrics), Jack Lawrence‑Brown (drums). Debut album To Lose My Life... reached UK No.1 in 2009.

Six DeBaser reviews chart White Lies from the dark-edged debut to later synth-polished turns. Ritual splits opinions, Friends gets unexpected praise, Five is called a bold return, and As I Try Not To Fall Apart earns “best since the debut.” Influences like Joy Division, New Order and The Killers are constant touchpoints.
