The Punk Site 2022 Top 20: Cherry & Peesh – Don’t Make It Easy For Yourself

Sitting pretty at number 18 in The Punk Site‘s festive countdown of the best releases from 2022 is our very own punk poet Cherry B with her musical partner in crime Peesh, who released their new album, Don’t Make It Easy For Yourself in August. Cherry B has worked with and alongside some of the best known artists on the musical and spoken word circuit for years. Peesh on the other hand is a one man punk music machine, when he’s not on the road with Cherry, he’s doing solo gigs and playing his heart out with LoGOz.

“The album ‘Don’t Make It Easy On Yourself’ is a collection of songs from over the 5 years they have performed together that have either not been recorded before or are newly written … This album isn’t just a spoken word album, its not just a musical punk fest, its an album that show just how perfectly married together these genres can be, but it also gives both artists room to breath, a collaboration rather than just a meeting at the joints, songs and poems that at points blend so well together that your fully immersed in the moment … If you’re not sold on the whole Spoken Word/Punk rock thing, then let this album be a lesson to you, never judge and always open your mind and ears to what comes your way.” (Mark Cartwright August 2022)
