VARLEY MARRIED WITH BRUISES

Varley’s latest track is a powerful offering backed by sincere and genuine emotion. ‘Married With Bruises’ captures you from the moment you first hear its serene, distant opening guitar strums and uses Claire-Anne’s emotive voice and lyrics to keep you hooked throughout. “It weighs heavy on me sometimes when I see that I am being treated differently to my band mates,” she says. “Is it because they have willies and I don't? Or do I allow myself to be spoken to in a way that they would never accept?”. Varley’s debut album, Smalltalk and DMC’s, dropped earlier this year. -Dan Peeke
