“I wish I could escape from this gilded cage.”
Trudging punk with an industrial edge, Factory is a six-track EP recorded by Cheree at Oakland’s Sharkbite Studios. Standing out most affecting from the start is the crispy digital crunch of the programmed drums, providing the mechanical rhythm for guitar and bass to match up against in cutting syncopation. And on top of the piled up throne of shattered metal shards sits vocalist Vanessa Hernandez, screaming black and white lyrics with not a glimmer of hesitation. Pick up a limited edition cassette or 12″ vinyl of the EP from Cherub Dream Records. Play it loud.
