January 18, 200917 yr I love White Lies. It sounds like a combination of all my favorite bands - Interpol, The Killers, Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division, Tears for Fears, Editors. Harry Mcveigh's vocals are fantastic (like goosebumpingly-fantastic)! Maybe that's where some people get problems with White Lies. They don't think the band's music is very original. However, i could say that I've enjoyed the album. Having found this band two weeks ago has changed my listening habits. Freakin' addicting this band.
January 18, 200917 yr They did an instore in a cdstore last thursday, because of the Eurosonic/Noorderslag festival in Groningen, I was there and it was very good, nice :)
January 20, 200917 yr take a look @ the new "film" on http://www.myspace.com/whitelies or http://www.whitelies.com/ it's kinda cool
January 20, 200917 yr This album's really, really good. It took me by surprise yesterday. I wasn't expecting such a good debut.
February 11, 200917 yr Some great songs on the album Death, Unfinished Business and E.S.T in particular
March 13, 200917 yr Just got tickets to check out White Lies (along with Friendly Fires) in about two weeks. Can't wait--going to be an awesome show, I think!
March 26, 200917 yr Saw White Lies last night and all I can say is, "WOW." Really hope these guys hit it big in America because they were awesome live last night. I saw them at this tiny little venue in Philly and was in the front row and was basically on the stage. Also, Friendly Fires played last night too and were ridiculously good. The lead singer is a crazy dancer and came down into the crowd (right next to us) and danced around during On Board. Really great show. If you're in the US and White Lies/Friendly Fires comes around, definitely go check them out. Terrible cameraphone pictures (and totally unzoomed, mind you):
April 20, 200917 yr I guess I'm a little late on this, but I just got the album. Man it's really good. I love Death, From The Stars, To Lose My Life. Great. Really kind of depressing though. But great.
April 21, 200917 yr Just bought their album from the bookstore because last.fm told me too :P I really like it, though I'm not sure which tracks are my favorite yet.
April 21, 200917 yr I wrote a review on the record on my music review blog, i haven't written it in a while, but check it out! http://charlton7.wordpress.com/
April 23, 200917 yr To Lose My Life is an interesting album, though I find some songs amazing and others just dull. The title track, Farewell To Fairground, EST, A Place To Hide and Fifty On Our Foreheads are brilliant though.
May 7, 200917 yr I AM SO HAPPY Found out today that they're coming to Melbourne! 30th July, a while away, but Im gonna be front row, baby!!
May 8, 200917 yr I love White Lies... kind of a rip off of a lot of 80s bands, but honestly who isn't a ripoff now-a-days. Nevertheless, their music still seems fresh and delightfully dreary
May 10, 200917 yr Yes, they are great. I love "Death" - really good song! I'm gonna see them at Open'er Festival in Poland in July. Can't wait! Crawlinwithin, I can see you like Kings of Leon. I love them! I am a HUGE fan of KOL. They're playing at Open'er Festival this year and I can't wait to see them live. Have you ever seen KOL live? :)

I am obsessed with them haha they're just an awesome, old fashioned, hard working rock n roll band. Noooo I have not seen them live... yet. I'm so mad, I could've seen them in Philly this year but the tix were too expensive :( PS my name's Jeff btw, I hate this stupid screename which I made in like 6th grade during my Linkin Park obsession haha
June 26, 200916 yr Hey The White Lies as everyone should know are supporting our very own at both of the Wembley dates this september. Honestly, I am looking forward to them soooo much its not real, I am not sure how many people going to the shows are actually aware of WL but I would like to urge everyone to get familiar with 'em, ASAP. They absolutely rocked at Glasto earlier today, and, I was impressed. Death is such a cool lead single of course (which is important) but as an album "To lose your life..." is just quality throughout and actually despite their huge differences to Coldplay, I reckon that being a CPer their music becomes so very easy to listen to. Anyway I would love to know if people agree, or not, and to hear your thoughts would be ace. A big thanks to Coldplay and to whoever pushed for White Lies to fill the fantastic line-up for Wembley, which will be the greatest one-day gig in history> Merci Beau-coup. ;)
