Various Cruelties - Various Cruelties
Review by Priyan De Silva
Various Cruelties' self-titled album is a refreshing blend of indie rock and soul that showcases the band's versatility and musical prowess. The album features a mix of upbeat tracks like "Great Unknown" and "Neon Truth," as well as slower, more introspective songs like "If It Wasn't For You" and "Chemicals." Lead singer Liam O'Donnell's powerful vocals are a standout feature of the album, complemented by the band's tight instrumentation and catchy hooks. The production is clean and polished, allowing each instrument to shine through without overshadowing the others. Various Cruelties is a solid debut album that sets the band apart from its peers and hints at even greater things to come.

About Various Cruelties
VARIOUS CRUELTIES is a mod/goth/pop incarnation. Formed by Liam O'Donnell in London, England, in 2010.
"If It Wasn't For You" was the first thing O'Donnell recorded as Various Cruelties.
Various Cruelties is largely the project of Liam ODonnell, a distant relative of Oscar Wilde. Born in London to a Scottish father and an Irish mother, ODonnell moved to Leeds in Northern England as a teenager, and began performing as a singer/songwriter. He chose the stage name Various Cruelties after seeing a painting of the same name by American artist Ed Ruscha.
