Cherry Glazerr’s Soft and Sharp Power Pop

Soundcheck | Feb 25, 2019

Los Angeles trio Cherry Glazerr, led by singer/guitarist/founder Clementine Creevy, is fierce, furious, but also weary. Creevy has found some inspiration by looking inward, and just hanging out with the demons of self-doubt instead of fighting in some of the songs from the new record, Stuffed & Ready. Creevy is self-deprecating, but at the same time, trying not to beat herself up, as she lets out her rage.

As Creevy looks outward, she's come into some world-weary wisdom too. “Being a feminist is exhausting”, she says to Paper Mag in an interview, about the ongoing struggle, which is full of punk aggression and some exasperation at unwanted sexualization. “I’m enraged because I feel like America’s mindset sees women as less capable beings, and that social mainframe feels impenetrable and that enrages me.” Cherry Glazerr joins us in-studio to get loud, rage a bit, and “make people feel less alone.” - Caryn Havlik
