Cheerbleederz are Kathryn, Phoebe and Sophie, three pals from London. They formed the band through a mutual appreciation for their other projects and the desire to write music in a collaborative, and unselfconscious space.
Already boasting a fine pedigree of lo-fi underground hits between their individual members’ various bands (Fresh, ME REX, and Happy Accidents), with their new project the trio have hit upon an instantly infectious brand of no-frills, melody-driven punk. Taking influence from the likes of The Breeders, Snail Mail, Hop Along, Alvvays, Charly Bliss and Cayetana, their songs touch thoughtfully on the lived experiences of women and marginalised people
It’s here! The magnificore DIY trio of true punks Cheerbleederz have finally unleashed their new album ‘Even In Jest’ to the world. Oh world, YOU. ARE. WELCOME!
There are wonderful words fizzing all about the internet, but these ones from Punktastic are very pleasant and will get you right to the point if you’ve not heard these chums before.
“Sitting about halfway between the bright pop sound of The Big Moon and the more DIY punk of bands like Martha, it feels friendly and accessible but with an edge. At times…wonderfully noisy including angular guitar tones…you can’t escape this being an intensely likeable record.”
Catch ’em on tour. Buy a vinyl out September
