First Listen: Cherry Glazerr

Cherry Glazerr is an LA-based band made up of Clementine, Hannah, Sophia and Sean. While initially they appear to have a relatively basic sound Clementine Creevy's voice is unique and moving, in ways reminding me of Courtney Love (Hole) or Allison Mosshart (The Kills/The Dead Weather). Creevy brings power to the words she sings just like her predecessors. Her lyrics also explain life events that anyone can relate to: singing about friends, pets, sunglasses, and comfort foods like grilled cheese.  My favorite song is "Teenage Girl," so be sure to check it out on their Bandcamp page.


The band's instruments create a lo-fi and indie sound that is a pleasure to listen to on a day where you just need something to quiet your mind and that can relate to your daily life.

I am so glad to have discovered this band because they bring a new sound that isn't common on today's indie scene and no one has a voice quite like Creevy's. Also, I totally wish that they would go on tour and hopefully play a DC venue with another LA band that I love, The Entrance Band. Well, a girl can dream right?
