CHERYM: The Open Fund for Music Creators
CHERYM ‘Hey Tori’ UK Tour Oct 2021
Serving up a zingy, fearless new recipe for pop punk rock, Cherym are a three-piece from Derry in Northern Ireland with some seriously infectious songwriting credentials. Taking influence from The Smashing Pumpkins, Bikini Kill, American Football, PUP and Pixies, the trio formed after meeting in college over a joint love of garage rock, pop punk and a desire to be the biggest band in the world.
Starting out as a kick-back against the local music scene boys club, their relentless enthusiasm and boundless energy are the perfect antidote to the drudgery of life under lockdown—a very, very bright shining light for 2021 at the end of what’s been a long tunnel.
Following the recording of their second EP in October 2020, the band signed with Alcopop! Records, and released three. Under the banner of these new tracks, the band saw support from both Radio (Jack Saunders and Gemma Bradley at BBC R1, Tom Robinson at BBC 6music, DJ Kennady at KEXP, John Kennedy at Radio X, Dan Hegarty at RTÉ 2FM, Ed Smith at Today FM, BBC Ulster etc), press (NME, Alt Press, UPSET, DORK, DSCVRD, HARD BEAT, VISIONS, Track 7, Get In Her Ears, Punktastic, Hot Press, Nialler9, The Irish News, The Daily Mirror NI, The Thin Air) and many more on the way to the release of their second EP ‘Hey Tori’
This October, the CHERYM show comes to a stage near you. Their first ever headline tour of the UK was announced earlier this year!
