“a brand-new artist we’re going for mad for” – NME
“Sassy Eighties-MTV girl pop guided by Charli XCX’s rebel spirit” – ROLLING STONE
“…the track is a potent introduction to the band’s vision, a kick-drum slow burner laced with powder keg determination.” – THE FADER
“…a promising kick-off for a group that seems looking to take the girl group concept in a punkier, darker direction — while still having plenty of fun.” – TIME
“Win” is as sticky a song as you’ll find this year, with a chorus that’ll live with you long after the track stops playing. More Nasty Cherry soon, please.” – GQ
“From the very ’80s matrimonial white dresses that they’ve worn on stage to their matching red hot photoshoot ensembles, which are as glamorous as rock ’n’ roll can get, Nasty Cherry might just resur-rect that bygone era when coordinated girl groups ruled the charts.” – VOGUE
“Without a doubt, Nasty Cherry will always be cooler than we could ever hope to be.” – PAPER
“Expect to be scribbling “I <3 Nasty Cherry” all over your notebook very soon.” – THE FACE
“out to take over the world…with each small milestone they are inching closer to that goal” – DIY
“I stan four witchy queens.” – NYLON
“The vibe is ’90s angst rock welded to a Sia-esque chorus, and it is indeed a winner.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES
“… one of those pop tracks that’s genius in its simplicity.” – VICE’s NOISEY
“…shadowy ’80s post-punk riffs with a huge anthemic pop chorus…” – STEREOGUM

Femme fatales Nasty Cherry have today premiered their third single Live Forever on Rolling Stone who named the band a “best new artist of the year” alongside their self-produced music video made during a recent Los Angeles writing trip; offering a true look into the playful personalities behind Charli XCX’s favorite new act signed to her label Vroom Vroom Recordings – WATCH HERE!
In their own words Live Forever, is a song about being “unconfined, unrefined and self-assured” so naturally, “the video shows a less filtered side of the band…” says Nasty Cherry band-mate Georgia Somary who also directed the video, edited by Matt Copson. “I wanted all of us to be seen as we are. We just went to a theme park for my birthday, ate a ton of fried pickles and filmed most of it there on our phones, as well as in sessions, and at Gabriette’s apartment over two days.”
Nasty Cherry co-wrote Live Forever with Charli XCX and producer Justin Raisen (Sky Ferreira, Angel Olsen, Kim Gordon); the dream team behind the band’s first single WIN (watch here). As with the earlier releases, including their previous track, What Do You Like In Me (watch here), Live Forever came together in a day with a very quick and organic writing process involving lots of woodblocks, guitars and birth control.
The next “first” for Nasty Cherry is their debut EP, arriving this Spring – stay tuned for more!

The band caused a social stir when Charli XCX first hinted at Nasty Cherry’s existence, racking up nearly 10K followers overnight, but the girls have otherwise kept a pretty shadowy profile. Made up of two Brits (@georgiasomary, @debbiedrums), and two Americans (@gabriette, @chloechaidez), Nasty Cherry is hinged by Los Angeles with purpose to write and play their own music—which is romantic and bitchy at the same time—like if Robert Smith was created by Andy Warhol in the Factory, or The Strokes, if they all had vaginas. Someone should remake ‘The Craft’ just so Nasty Cherry can make the sound-track.
In Nasty Cherry’s spare time you might see lead singer Gabz modeling for the recent cover of Galore or sitting front row at YSL in Paris; you might see bassist Georgia flying planes, loading 18th century muskets or decorating sets for the Star Wars movies; you might hear drummer Debbie recording radio episodes with Charli at the Beats 1 studio or you might catch guitarist Chloe gate crashing the red car-pet or jumping off a speaker, performing with her second band KITTEN.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
