Frightened Rabbit have announced the upcoming release of Tiny Changes, a 10th anniversary covers album of The Midnight Organ Fight featuring the likes of Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES, Biffy Clyro, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, The Twilight Sad, Julien Baker and many more. The covers album, Tiny Changes: A Celebration Of The Midnight Organ Fight is due out July 12, 2019. Pre-order it here.

A mental health charity sharing the same name as the album, Tiny Changes, was launched by the family of Frightened Rabbit’s late lead singer Scott Hutchinson who took his own life last May after battling depression. Hutchinson helped put this compilation of covers together before his passing. A portion of the proceeds from Tiny Changes’ sales will benefit the charity.

Ahead of CHVRCHES’ homecoming show at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday, February 16th, lead singer Lauren Mayberry was already busy hours before showtime helping launch Connect Live for the Glasgow & Clyde Rape Crisis Centre.

Mayberry, a patron for the centre, previously helped spearhead a fundraiser for their 40th anniversary back in 2016. Now, almost two years later more women than ever are seeking support from the centre.

Glasgow Rape Crisis Centre manager Isabelle Kerr told the Herald Scotland, “In the last two years, the centre has fielded almost 30,000 calls, texts and emails from survivors of rape, domestic abuse and other forms of sexual trauma in and around Glasgow.”

Kerr and staff along with Mayberry launched the new project, Connect Live, which will be open daily from 11 AM – 2 PM and Monday through Thursday evenings from 5:30-7:30 PM. This service will allow anyone contacting Connect Live to speak to centre staff directly for live support.

Mayberry said, “I don’t view things like rape crisis as optional services. It’s not negotiable whether that is available to society, and it’s not just for women either.”

If you would like to help support this project please donate through Just Giving. Donations will help the centre adapt to changing technology and help train new volunteer staff.

We’re back with our fourth annual Lauren Mayberry (CHVRCHES) top ten moments of the year! Mayberry and her bandmate pals Iain Cook, Martin Doherty and Jonny Scott from CHVRCHES had quite a year in 2018 including a new album, a new EP, touring the world, new collaborations, philanthropic efforts and more! There have been countless great memories from this year but without further ado continue reading below to see our Lauren Mayberry top ten moments of 2018. Thank you for being such a great role model and inspiration to many.

10. CHVRCHES sponsor Whitburn Junior FC. The band stepped in to sponsor Iain Cook’s hometown junior team with a sharp looking away strip featuring the bands logo. Even more exciting was the collaboration between the band and team to put these jerseys on sale for a limited run to the public after the outpouring of interest from fans worldwide.

9. CHVRCHES team up with Soundwaves Art for a limited-edition print to support War Child UK. We thought this was such a neat and unique idea that combines both music and art while also helping those in need.

8. CHVRCHES left us in awe with their latest cover songs this year. Call us biased but they make some of the best cover songs out there with their own unique take on songs. This year the band dazzled us with covers of “Somebody Else” by The 1975, “XO” by Beyonce, “Stay” by Rihanna, “Love” by Kendrick Lamar and “The Downtown Lights” by The Blue Nile.

6. CHVRCHES always pop up on video game soundtracks and this year was no different. The band was featured on Forza Horizon 4 with “Never Say Die” and on Rock Band 4 with “Graffiti”.

5. Lauren Mayberry and CHVRCHES worked on a variety of new collaborations in 2018. For the first time in the bands history they had a guest singer involved on the track “My Enemy” featuring their friend Matt Berninger of The National. Later in the year Mayberry joined The National on stage at ACL Festival for their song “Guilty Party”. In August CHVRCHES dropped a surprise single called “Out Of My Head” featuring Wednesday Campanella and Mayberry was featured on the new Death Cab for Cutie album Thank You for Today contributing some beautiful backing vocals on the track “Northern Lights”.

1. It probably comes as no surprise that our number one Lauren Mayberry (CHVRCHES) moment of 2018 was the release of CHVRCHES’ third album Love Is Dead on May 25, 2018.


Thank you to Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, Martin Doherty, Jonny Scott and everyone mentioned above for all the great memories and all your hard work! With a memorable year coming to a close we now look forward to another great year in 2019!

A few months ago, we broke the news that CHVRCHES had become the newest sponsor of Whitburn Junior FC with their logo emblazoned on the team’s new away strip. Within days of this announcement several local news outlets in Scotland picked up our story and soon afterwards CHVRCHES fans around the world came asking to purchase one of their own. The outpouring of interest from fans took the team by surprise and it worked.

We have been in contact with the team’s secretary over the past few months and happy to announce these jerseys are now available for sale to the general public. This limited edition of 100 jerseys are available in small, medium, large, extra large and double extra large for £55.00 plus shipping.

Iain Cook is originally from Whitburn, Scotland and his father has been closely involved with the Whitburn Juniors which made this collaboration a possibility. Thank you to everyone involved including Whitburn Junior FC, the Cook family and of course CHVRCHES!

Order your jersey now through Whitburn Junior FC.

Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty of CHVRCHES have teamed up with Soundwaves Art creator Tim Wakefield to create a beautiful piece of artwork capturing the waveform from their audio recording of “The Mother We Share”! This limited edition of 100 fine art 24” x 24” canvas prints signed by the band and art creator will support War Child UK.

Own a rare and unique music piece of artwork from CHVRCHES while supporting a great cause. Prints are on sale now from Soundwaves Art.

CHVRCHES will be performing on Austin City Limits Radio live morning broadcast during ACL Festival at Threadgills in Austin, Texas on Saturday, October 6th. A $5 donation to HAAM (Health Alliance for Austin Musicians) will get you in the door to see all the bands playing this morning broadcast. Click here for a full schedule of performances.

CHVRCHES are the newest sponsor of Whitburn Junior FC and now featured on the new away strip. Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty are always full of heartwarming surprises with their contributions to help others. Take a look at those sharp jerseys and good luck to Whitburn Junior FC this season!

Yesterday CHVRCHES announced they have become a patron for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Summer School for Girls Glasgow after hearing previous funding for the camp had fallen through. This summer camp will teach local girls aged 8-16 years how to rock out. Coming at just the right time, Girls Rock Glasgow said the sponsorship will enable them to move forward with plans and offer more places than ever before. The full announcement from CHVRCHES’ lead singer Lauren Mayberry can be read below.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Summer School for Girls Glasgow will take place from July 14-22, 2018 at Kinning Park Complex and Empire Studios. For more information regarding applications to attend or volunteering opportunities please visit Girls Rock Glasgow.

At the time of writing it has not been confirmed if the band will be appearing or teaching at the summer school however their currently listed concert schedule suggests they may be visiting.

We are excited to be supporting @girlsrockglasgow, a really valuable community project that will be teaching local girls how to rock out at their camp this summer. Growing up, I didn't know many other girls playing in bands. If I hadn't seen awesome and inspiring women in bands that I loved - Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Garbage, Sleater-Kinney - then it would never have occurred to me that maybe one day I could do that. I have hardly ever seen a female sound engineer in a venue, locally or internationally, and you hardly ever see women headlining festivals. Let's change that by helping Girls Rock Glasgow teach young women that they can be anything they want to be. Link to find out more in bio.
