CHERRY DEATH saccharine (2017/NOT NORMAL)

Oklahoma's CHERRY DEATH is a hard one to pin down. As musicians, their roots lie in hardcore-punk, with members doing time in OKC heavyweights such as AMERICAN HATE and the FUFS, but as a group they're possessed by a different sorts of ghosts. They jangle like the BYRDS and their Paisley Underground progeny, while maintaining a working-class, twang and flannel vibe. "saccharine" is bright music for dark times. Vinyl with stamped labels comes with a gatefold-cover.
