In little more than twelve months CHVRCHES have come out of nowhere to be everywhere. There’s a lot to catch up on since they posted their first song, LIES, online last spring – a place in the top five of the BBC Sound of 2013, sell out headline tours in the UK and US, a triumphant, award-winning appearance at SXSW and a string of stadium dates with Depeche Mode, to name but a few.
