Baltimore-based nu-punk four-piece, Cherie Amour, has recently unveiled their latest EP, Some Songs, under the labels Rude Records and Equal Vision Records. This dynamic quartet, consisting of Trey Miller on vocals, Casey Reid and Brendan Willis on guitars, and Ronnie Sherman on drums, is poised to carve a unique niche in the alternative music scene with this exciting release.
Some Songs offers a fresh and invigorating take on the genre, delivering a collection of catchy hook-laden tracks infused with raw emotion. The Ep’s sound is firmly rooted in pop-punk, but it doesn’t stop there.
One standout feature of this EP is the acoustic version of “Love’s Not Your Thing”, originally found on their 2022 debut album, Spiritual Ascension. This reimagined rendition takes an already captivating song and deconstructs it to emphasize the lead singer, Trey Miller’s powerful vocals. This result is a refreshing and intimate take on a track that showcases the band’s versatility and ability to breath new life into their own material.

It serves as a superb introduction to the unique sounds and captivating artistry they offer. Once you’ve immersed yourself in the album, consider delving into the treasure trove of songs they’ve released within this short EP.
In conclusion, Cherie Amour’s Some Songs is a promising showcase of a band finding their voice and style within the ever-evolving alternative music landscape.
