Chvrches have been announced as 5th place live on the morning Radio 1 Breakfast show: and 5 out of 12 has no shame; Enter Shikari, The Drums and La Roux all bagged 5th place also.
So who are Chvrches? With there abnormal name tying in with their abnormal sounds; basically they're one of the bands to watch rise and gain strength in numbers this year. With catchy chorus's lyrics boomed from the haunting lyricist of Lauren Mayberry; Chvrches sound stands out head and shoulders above the rest of pop.
2012 has been a slump in the music scene; seeing factory made groups such as One Direction and JLS rise to be "the best", but could 2013 have a shining golden pathway for Chvrches to waltz up?
The Glaswegian trio mix an electronic quickening of the heart, using shoe gazing tones, to a soft and subtle emotion-fulled-sun-shining feeling. Influenced by the likes of Kate Bush, Prince and Eliot Smith; waves of old and new can be heard entwined through their music.
If Chvrches are anything; they're the game changer the critics and lovers of all things music have been sat on the edge of their boom-boxes for. Chvrches was formed by Martin Doherty and Ian Cooke; and after weeks of brainstorming a name: they came up with the original "Chvrches" so that when their name became instantly famous; they wouldn't be confused with Churches.One of the main songs that have aroused the hidden music lovers, scouring the Internet for something fresh is from a new, un-heard of band is, "The Mother We Share". Taking less that 48 hours to write and record; Chvrches have specifically gave it a hard packing punch which has sent the song soaring! Mayberrys lyrics sing of sweet happiness but are jerked up and jolted into oblivion with the simple aid of a synthesiser.
Chvrches deserve their place in the top 5 sound of 2013; watch this space. By this time next year; you won't understand how you even managed through the days without them.
