Charly Bliss

Led by the distinctively perky voice of singer and guitarist Eva Hendricks, indie outfit Charly Bliss are indebted to the catchy alt-rock of '90s bands like Weezer and, more on point, Veruca Salt. After struggling early on to find the right balance of their grungy rock and tendency toward bright pop hooks, the group decided the two could coexist and emerged with their full-length debut, Guppy, in 2017. They shifted the balance toward pop on 2019's Young Enough and 2024's FOREVER, which combined heavy emotions with a mandated sense of fun.
