Today, alternative-rock band, Charming Liars share their hauntingly beautiful performance video of their song “In The Reflection of Blood.”
“In The Reflection of Blood” is the first in the series of live videos that the band filmed earlier this year in a warehouse in L.A. – the first time the band has been able to perform together since the start of the pandemic. The series is titled ‘Live Sounds of 2020’ and will feature live videos for each song the band has released this year.
On their latest single, Charming Liars shares: “‘In The Reflection Of Blood’ was written one day after the bloodiest mass shooting in American History. The violence on October 1st, 2017 broke my heart. This song was my attempt at sewing it back together. Proceeds from this song will go towards helping those impacted by events like this one. May the memory of those lost forever bloom.”
Charming Liars began in London’s West End when guitarist Karnig Manoukian and bassist Mike Kruger were still teenagers. They played in bands in England until then moved to Los Angeles in 2013, in part started by a social media message from a producer and songwriter John Feldmann (Panic! At The Disco, Plain White T’s, 5 Seconds To Summer, Blink 182), “who told them to look him up for a songwriting session if they were ever in town.”
They connected with vocalist Kiliyan Maguire through a mutual friend while he was attending The Musicians Institute in Hollywood. 2019 was a breakout year for the band. They released their debut album, Thought, Flesh, and Bone, and a follow-up, acoustic, EP, Bare Bones, and ended the year with a live collection of songs titled Live 2019.
