Based out of Los Angeles, California and originating in London, England, British/American alt-rockers Charming Liars were founded in 2010 around the core trio of lead vocalist Charlie Cosser, guitarist Karnig Manoukian, and bassist Mike Kruger. Employing a hard-hitting, yet radio-ready blend of West Coast hard rock and soaring, stadium-ready alternative pop, the band made the jump from London to L.A. in 2013 and issued a four-song EP, New Disorder. A second EP, We Won't Give Up, dropped in 2014, followed by a series of high-profile showcase shows at the the Viper Room, the Roxy, the Troubadour, and the Whiskey A Go Go. The band landed a pair of legendary producers in Bob Rock and John Fields to helm their first full-length outing. ~ James Christopher Monger
