I am a childhood friend of Lauren Mayberry and we have worked on a bunch of songs togeather. Also made friends with Brad online in the mid 90s So if you feel brad's influnce in Chvrches music or in the game Death Stranding it is because brad was indeed a writer. I think i might of bumped into kilsin online in the 90s as well. If i think of anything else important ill be back but for now gonna go box a pally,rogue,chanter and do some more reminisceing. Also if you like Chvurches maybe check out some Matt Berninger/Phobe bridgers Walking on a string, or Appointments by Julien Baker, or Night Shift by Lucy Dacus. A few more writer/musician types ive met along the way.
