On 10 March 2008, White Lies were announced as one of four bands taking part in the first ever NME New Noise Tour (now the NME Radar Tour ). The tour visited eleven cities in the UK throughout May 2008. The band were first featured in the magazine in the issue dated 22 March 2008, appearing in the “Everyone’s Talking About…” section of their Radar article. Live Editor Hamish MacBain described tracks “Death” and “XX” (later titled ” Unfinished Business “) – the only two songs available on the band’s MySpace – as “…not too afraid of a little sincerity, not afraid of a little scale”. The band released their debut single one month later, a 7-inch vinyl of “Unfinished Business” on 28 April 2008. The limited pressing was released by Chess Club Records, an independent record label co-founded by drummer Jack Brown. To mark the release, the band supported dEUS in London’s Scala on 16 April 2008, as well as a performance at the 2008 Camden Crawl .
