CHERRY AMES IS A WASHINGTON, DC-BASED INDIE ROCK TRIO THAT WELDS PSYCHEDELIA, SHOEGAZE AND NOISE INTO A MELODIC, LOUD, GORGEOUS, SONIC PIGPILE. THE HEART OF THEIR SOUND IS THE DISTORTED, ALTERNATE-TUNED GUITARS OF MATT VANDENBROEK AND JAMIE DARKEN AND TRAE TOMKO’S PROPULSIVE, LYRICAL DRUMMING.
THEIR SOUND RECALLS THE DARK DREAMPOP OF SWERVEDRIVER, SLOWDIVE, LUSH, AND MY BLOODY VALENTINE; THE FUZZED-OUT GUITAR CHICANERY OF CLASSIC AMERICAN INDIE GROUPS LIKE DINOSAUR JR. AND SONIC YOUTH; THE CONFESSIONAL LYRICS AND SONGCRAFT OF GUIDED BY VOICES, CAR SEAT HEADREST, AND WILCO; AND THE PROGRESSIVE EXPLORATION OF COHEED AND CAMBRIA, AND …AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD-- ALL INFUSED WITH THE SONIC DNA OF CLASSIC DC ACTS LIKE FUGAZI, JAWBOX AND SHUDDER TO THINK.
