We’re in the midst of a small renaissance in Scottish music. In the last five years, a league of young bands from Scotland — namely, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad — have been accumulating fame and touring internationally while making earnest, expertly manicured Indie Pop about love and heartbreak in a young-person-friendly way. Chvrches is part of that alliance, too, albeit a late addition. Releasing its debut album, The Bones of What You Believe, to great praise and chart success last year, the Glasgow band has quickly risen to become the most prominent of these Scottish groups. 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 29. $23; $25 at the door. Madison Theater, 730 Madison Ave., Covington, Ky., madisontheateronline.com.
