White Lies

Originally working under the name Fear of Flying, British alt-rockers Harry McVeigh (lead vocals/guitar), Charles Cave (bass) and Jack Brown (drums) decided in October of 2007 to change their name to White Lies [ tickets ] and took their music in a darker and more serious direction.

"We just thought that we should perform these songs as a different band," Brown told SFStation.com last year. "We had songs that we felt weren't suitable for the band that we were in and we thought White Lies would be the perfect vehicle for the songs. It's where we want to be musically."

The London-based band's debut album, "To Lose My Life..." surfaced in early 2009.
