***Cherry Cheeks are back with their third album, and it’s a concept album! A concept album is a bold statement and The Cheeks manage to pull it off and then some..Over the course of 14 tracks we follow our digital hero D.O as he is pursued by the evil Reapers. Their goal: to wipe his memory, but in service of who? It's a rock opera by way of a really awesome Saturday morning cartoon. Kyle Harms' song writing has chops have leveled up, and this thing is nothing but hits top to bottom. It drills its way into your head and demands attention. Tough when it needs to be but also oozing with pop hooks. Kyle handled everything from playing all the instruments and production, which is incredible, to the impeccable art. It’s a testament to his talent that he can pull this off without delving into the world of the hokey. The lyrics and story telling are really astounding. Nice to see a hometown kid knock it so far out the park. Grab your cereal and tune in to the world of D.O. & The Bytes. It will most likely seem very familiar. 100% TOTAL PUNK!!!!!

***Cherry Cheeks are back with the follow up to their highly praised debut LP. Now a full band based out of Portland, OR with a few successful tours under their belt and a strongly defined sound CCLPII picks up where last year's Cherry Radio EP left off. The songs are more fleshed out, the production crisper, and the hooks are gigantic with layers of synths and electronic bleeps and blurps peppered throughout. The manic energy is still front and center but the poppier elements hinted at with songs like 'Go Outside' and 'Two Bugs' on their debut are given much greater focus on the album's hit heavy A-side. On the flip the album takes a darker and more sinister turn. The synths are more heavily featured the vocals have more bite and the punk muscle fully flexed. Cherry Cheeks prove they've got some staying power and I'm excited to see what they have in store for CCLPIII. Catchy, razor sharp, and 100% TOTAL PUNK!

It's always nice to put out something from your hometown. It's even better when that something is this good. CHERRY CHEEKS is the work of fellow Orlando resident (recently relocated to Portland) Kyle Harms. Started in early 2020, Cherry Cheeks was born out of countless hours stuck in front of a computer screen with a raging pandemic outside. Kyle put his boredom, boiling over anger, and frustration to work and started a new project. He put out a few bandcamp EPS and limited run tapes that a mutual friend back home turned me onto. He also informed me that there was even better stuff that hadn't yet been released. I hit Kyle up, he sent me a few tracks, and boy was my friend right. EGG PUNK, DEVO-CORE, QUARANTINE PUNK.. whatever the kids are calling it these days this is 12 tracks of bass driven, pop stained, punk agitation. I'm very proud of this record and am ecstatic to say it is indeed 100% TOTAL PUNK!!!!
