Chvrches 

A synth-pop/alternative trio from Glasgow. Made up of Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty, and one of the finest acts to come out of Scotland.
As of August 2015, they have released one album, The Bones of What You Believe (2013) and too many EPs to name, including the Gun EP. However a new album is expected for September 2015, and it's called Every Open Eye.
They've released a few singles to promote the album, including Never Ending Circles and Leave A Trace.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.

They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
