Formed in London in 2007. Core members include Harry McVeigh (vocals/guitar), Charles Cave (bass) and Jack Lawrence-Brown (drums). Debut album To Lose My Life... released in 2009.

DeBaser reviews trace White Lies from a much-praised 2009 debut to mixed follow-ups and a later creative upswing. Critics note strong post-punk/new-wave influences, some pop turns, and moments of renewed ambition on FIVE and As I Try Not To Fall Apart. Opinions range from disappointed to impressed, with an overall lean toward appreciation.

For:Fans of post-punk, indie and synth-driven rock; readers of album reviews

 The White Lies are one of those bands inextricably identified with a debut they struggle to match album after album.

 As I Try Not To Fall Apart represents both a trend reversal and a musical synthesis of their career.

 "To Lose My Life" is a pleasant album, which lacks a bit of personality being too similar to what is already present in the market, but which rightfully carves out a place in the current indie scene, hoping for a second album to be a little less like Interpol and a bit more like White Lies.
