Real Lies

Real Lies are a British electronic music group formed in London in the early 2010s, originally comprising Kev Kharas, Tom Watson, and Patrick King. Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of UK club culture, post-punk, and ambient electronica, the band quickly became known for their evocative lyrics, distinctive spoken-word vocal delivery, and pulsing, atmospheric beats. Their 2015 debut album "Real Life" received critical acclaim for its sharp portrayal of urban nightlife and modern disaffection.

Themes of longing, late-night escapades, and fleeting connections run throughout their discography, resonating with audiences craving both introspection and euphoria. Over time, Real Lies evolved into a duo following Watson’s departure, continuing to refine their sound through singles and their long-awaited sophomore album, "Lad Ash," released in 2022. Their live performances are celebrated for blending emotional intensity with dancefloor energy, cementing Real Lies as a unique voice at the intersection of British club culture and street-level storytelling.
