There’s no doubt that the band that are set to make headlines for themselves this summer is the awesome Carolina Liar from Los Angeles. With their debut single, Show Me What I’m Looking for as our ‘Song Of The Week, I caught up with the extremely gorgeous frontman, Chad Wolf to talk about music, songs that make him cry, and 90210.

Hello there pretty, how are things going in your lovely world?

I’m doing good thank you, got nothing to complain about, everything is good!

Oh! Have you seen that you’re our ‘Song Of The Week’ this week?

Wow, that’s awesome! Thank you so much! That’s crazy! Man, it’s just this wildest thing, I feel like so many awesome things are happening to us since we’ve arrived in London, I had no idea! It’s kinda typical with us at the minute, we never really have a clue as to what’s going on, it’s really quite fun because every day you wake up and think, ‘What’s going to happen today?’

Aww, you’re sweet! So, we’ve just got your new album, Coming To Terms and we LOVE IT! It’s awesome, tell us a bit about the inspiration behind it!

Thank you so much! It’s really just kind of came form trying so many years to make a record, I mean, I’ve been in so many bands and groups and I saw it as my last chance to make it into this business so really this is where a lot of the songs come from because there were so many places in which it fell apart and to put all of the energy into it made it into a kind of positive record in many ways as I was writing and trying to find good times when things were at their absolute worst that there would always be something to look forward to and it’s crazy to put that kind of energy into something.

It sounds so hippy and new-age but we’re just out there to have fun and play music!

That’s what it should be about! So, if you could give us just one song to the album to listen to so that we would love you, which would you recommend?

Oh man! I mean my favourite song as far as what we wrote was probably be Beautiful World because it was such a big story idea when we had it at first. One of the original ideas behind the song was that one of my friends was a manic depressive and he said to me one morning; “Man I can’t stand seeing the sun come up in the morning, it just makes me sick to my stomach.” and I was like, ‘really?’ and that’s there the line, “here it come sin the morning” is from.

Then from that we were just following the whole idea of having that job you just can’t stand going to every morning and you tell yourself that the world is a beautiful place and still you get up every day and you lie and pretend until you’re almost convinced that everything is still so beautiful in the world.

To present an idea like that and still have something positive come from it was such a big thing to pull out as we started to get into it lyrically, we were puzzled at how to translate the story of him being so alone in this really cool city.

So on the album it would be one of our better acomplishments, but then there are songs like Last Night which is nothing but complete fun where you’re talking aobut a one night stand which should be simple, but you end up falling in love with that person!

I should be so lucky… so, you’ve also appeared on 90210 which is our new favourite programme at the moment, tell us a bit how you ended up on there…

There’s this music supervisor on that show called Nick and he worked on this radio station on LA and he’s discovered some huge band and I’ve always been a fan of hi Djing because he always brings really cool music to the table and I think he’s kind of responsible for getting the Ting Tings on the show and loads of other bands.

We found out that he’d been listening to the record and they’d been looking for a band to play live in this backyard scene and from that point we were like ‘this would be such a huge opportunity!’ at the same time, to be recognised by someone as legendary as Nick was like, ‘yeah, come on, we can’t turn this down, it’s such an opportunity.’
