Sweepingly anthemic indie rock that belongs to the Editors/Departure school of earnest intensity, God Love You For A Liar are one of  those bands who sound destined for stadium rocking glory.

HOLDING YOU IS LIKE KEEPING WATER IN MY HANDS is a glaring example of this bands potential, anthemic vocals cascade out over pummelling power chords and huge drum beats; God Love You For A Liar playing out all their U2 and Simple Minds fantasies apparently.  LOVE LIKE WE'RE LOVERS and THE HUNGER are songs that keep things suitably epic and yearning, God Love You For A Liar, all soaring vocals and ambition.  LONDON, YOU OWE ME THIS MUCH is a more subdued, tender affair, the band showing off their soft underbellies as gentle acoustic guitars and sweeping orchestral flourishes dance seductively in the background.

Sounding ambitious and anthemic enough to suggest themselves a band capable of big things, God Love You For A Liar make an impressive first impression with HOLDING YOU IS LIKE KEEPING WATER IN MY HANDS.

A man sits in front of the TV with his wife, despite the fact she hasn't paid him (or the TV) any attention in days. 

Two lovers who are not in love hit the town for yet another night out. 

A fire fails to rid a community of the evil that lurks amongst them. 

A dead-end job is not the only thing imprisoning a bored shop girl.

Onstage, God Love You For A Liar's lyrical contradictions are delivered with the kind of panache and zeal normally associated with more recognised and established artists. Provincial town boredom and dead-end jobs provide a prosaic backdrop for their tales of love, death, obsession and alienation.

Owing as much to Kate Bush as they do to The Smiths, God Love You For A Liar fluctuate between soaring pop melodies, calloused punk riffs, and moments of genuine drama and passion – all delivered with the collective debonair strut of a band on the verge of great things.
