  A YEAR ON THE ROAD WITH CHVRCHES
  Every Open Eye', the second album by Glasgow trio Chvrches, hit the Top Ten in Australia, the US and the UK. They've been on tour ever since. In a rare week off, frontwoman Lauren Mayberry is pinning down the essence of their gigs: "We play it like it's a rock show," she says, "and it sounds like it's a synth-pop band. But lyrically it's probably '90s emo…" Fans love these lyrics enough to get them tattooed on their bodies. They also hang on Mayberry's every word. Since the group shot to fame in 2013, the twenty eight year-old has become an outspoken figurehead for equality in pop, commenting with authority on the sexism she experiences daily.
