Interview with Charming Liars and get ready for new music!

June 5, 2014

Charming Liars is one British/American band that you have to know! They have had quite a successful year touring last year and we had the chance to catch them on the Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival. We were immediately drawn into their charismatic personalities and energetic sets. Several of the members have since relocated from London and call Los Angeles home now. They played a lot of the great venues in Los Angeles and everyone began to take notice of them. They soon worked with legendary producer Bob Rock and released their new EP “We Won’t Give Up” on May 19th. The EP is filled with five great tracks that are fun alternative rock style songs. You will get hooked on them and find yourself singing along in no time! We had the chance to talk with vocalist Charlie Cosser and are pleased to bring that interview to you here: As we discussed in the interview, they are going to be busy working on new music, making music videos and heading out on the road.

If you enjoy really good classic rock and roll, you can always pick up the blues influences.
