CHVRCHES (pronounced "churches" and sometimes stylized as CHVRCHΞS) is a synth-pop band from Glasgow, Scotland. Formed in 2011, the band consists of Lauren Mayberry on vocals, drums, percussion, and synths; Iain Cook on synths, piano, guitars, bass, and backing vocals; and Martin Doherty on synths, samplers, piano, guitars, bass, and vocals.
With their unique blend of electronic beats and catchy melodies, CHVRCHES has gained international recognition for their infectious sound. Their music seamlessly combines elements of pop with an edgy synth-driven sound that sets them apart from other artists in the genre.
Known for their captivating live performances and heartfelt lyrics, CHVRCHES has become a favorite among fans worldwide. Their powerful vocals combined with their ability to create anthemic hooks have earned them critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.

Chvrches return with their fourth album Screen Violence. Recorded remotely between Glasgow and Los Angeles during the pandemic, Screen Violence derives its title from one of the band’s early proposed names before they settled on Chvrches. A decade later, the band decided to revive the name in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown, where many relationships were tethered together over the computer amid a global crisis. The album includes "How Not to Drown," which features Robert Smith from the Cure.

Arriving three years on from their acclaimed third album Love Is Dead, Screen Violence is an ode to the digital violence experienced on screen, by screens and through screens. "I think we made the most honest and individual record we've ever done," says frontwoman Lauren Mayberry. "I feel like it's about the marriage between the stuff that's purely personal, and the stuff that's more imagery, and narrative [based]."
