Cherri Fosphate… The Story So Far
"...fiery, impassioned songwriting..." - Clash
Cherri Fosphate have spent the past few months winning more and more followers amongst music tastemakers with their slick indie/math-rock sound. Having honed their sound through gigging relentlessly over the last few years, the band are now ready to release their debut album We Didn't Come Here To Say Goodbye, and have already received support from the likes of Clash, BBC Scotland's Vic Galloway, STV, Artrocker, Huffington Post and Amazing Radio's Jim Gellatly.
The band have released four tracks from their album so far and, they are all so good, we just had to share them all in one handy playlist! You can listen to the playlist from the ABoF Soundcloud page or by clicking on the embed below.
Official single Neighbour, which was directed by BAFTA nominated filmmaker Tim Courtney, and is an indie-rock tour de force from beginning to end, was the band's most recent release. Watch the video by clicking the embed below.
Beginning their journey in 2012, the members joined forces with the aim of bringing the stripped back, no-frills rock and roll influences of New York’s music scene to Scotland. Comprising of Jonny Sharpe (vocals & guitar), Alan Robinson (lead guitar), Jordan Lannigan (bass) and Sonny Kainth (drums), amalgamated this sound with one closer to home with the likes of Bloc Party making their mark on the band’s style. As a result, Cherri Fosphate have constructed an exquisite, lo-fi fuzz-filled record melded with the more disciplined elements of math rock, creating something truly special.
Having supported Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Boxer Rebellion, Dry The River, The Crookes, Caveman and Honeyblood in the past, as well as making festival appearances at Belladrum, Tartan Heart, GoNorth and Brew at the Bog they are ready to take those next steps towards breaking into the wider consciousness of UK music lovers.
Cherri Fosphate's debut album We Didn’t Come Here To Say Goodbye is released via Bloc+Music on 20th November 2015 and Neighbour is available to buy now on iTunes and Bandcamp.
