Hot on the heels of an appearance at Latitude Festival and their first ever run of UK headline tour dates, Northern Irish trio Cherym continue their rapid ascent with a video for new single ‘Gone Girl’, which is out now on all good digital service providers.
The track is the last single to be taken from Cherym’s recently-released and much-hyped new EP Hey Tori, which is out now via Alcopop! Records.
The band were also recently announced as being added to the Student Music Network’s Student Radio Class of 2022, sponsored by Spotify UK.
A track with a serious and heartfelt message behind it, their new single ‘Gone Girl’ highlights the importance of trying to get help when involved in a domestically abusive relationship. There are resource links in the video description to The Rainbow Project, Women’s Aid and Men’s Alliance NI for anyone who finds this to be a difficult subject, and a trigger warning is advised for anyone who is, or has been, affected by domestic abuse.
Commenting on the track, bassist Nyree Porter says: “We wrote this song about our own experiences in abusive relationships, whether that be emotionally or physically. Our aim is to normalise discussing the topic, so that no one ever has to feel alone.”
“This is a subject which is very close to us personally and we hope that if there is anyone who has been—or is still—experiencing this, that you can find the strength to seek help if it’s safe to do so. Sometimes life getting better may seem like the furthest thing from reality, but it really does get better x”
Alongside the new single, Cherym are also pleased to announce that they will support Belfast rock band New Pagans on their forthcoming December 2021 Irish headline dates (see below for listings) with tickets on sale now.
