Derry based Northern Irish trio Cherym continue their unrelenting assault on the upper echelons of pop punk with their new single, It’s Not Me, It’s You. The track is the latest to be taken from their long-awaited debut album, Take It Or Leave It, that is set for release on 16th February 2024 and is now available for pre-order on vinyl via Alcopop! Records. The band have also announced a clutch of further UK and Netherlands headline dates for 2024 ahead of their support slot with Enter Shikari on their 2024 Irish tour dates with tickets available here.
“This song definitely has a bittersweet taste to it. You know when you want to help someone so bad but they won’t even help themselves? This one is for those of us who realised we just can’t continue to let ourselves get dragged into other peoples problems—as much as we want to help them, we just can’t. This song represents that moment when you know you just have to walk away from someone because the longer you hold on, the more you get hurt, sometimes you just have to take care of yourself first. This song’s also a special one because it wasn’t even supposed to be on the album; it was written and recorded in 24 hours as a last minute addition to the record and it sounds like it came straight outta 2006 Kerrang! Magazine’s greatest hits.” (drummer Alannagh Doherty)
“This album is a project that we’ve been developing for the last 6 years of our lives. Whenever we started the band the end goal was to create music that we enjoyed, and if that meant other people could relate to it and enjoy it too, then all the better. As three queer people who didn’t really fit the criteria when it came to the DIY music scene at that time, we have watched as the scene has evolved and grown into something much more inclusive and beautiful that we can now confidently say we feel like we’re part of. This album tells the story of how our lives have been transformed in the last 6 years—two EPs, lots of shows all over the world, and a few pronoun changes later…we made the record we needed to hear when we were growing up. Take It Or Leave It.”
