Even without releasing a full-lenth album (their short-EP finally dropped March 26th) Chvrches has been creating a lot of buzz since they formed in 2011, packing venues and selling out shows. And in that short amount of time, they were listed for this years' BBC's Sound of 2013. Recently, they completed their first US tour and their SXSW debut won them the first ever annual Grulke Prize for Best Non-US act at the festival. The Grulke Prize (awarded in three categories: Developing US Act, Developing Non-US Act and Career Act) is given to artists who are breaking new ground with their creativity and show the most promise in achieving their career goals. They return this summer for their US tour for 17 shows ahead of their planned release of their debut album in September.
