about

Cherrywood’s music features tales of lightning strikes, broken hearts, bar stools and prisons; all brought to life through an array of old timey acoustic instruments and a bunch of rowdy vocals. Their love of old Country and Folk music mixed with growing up playing in Punk and Rock n Roll bands has given them a sound of their own. After touring around the country solidly for the last two years and selling out of their first two singles, they’re finally releasing their debut album – Book of Matches.

Recorded by Matt Duffy (Graveyard Train, The Peep Tempel) during a bitter winter in an old guesthouse in the country, Book of Matches was laid down in two days, straight to tape with minimal overdubs and a swaggering live feel. The album portrays how the band are on stage – full of raw energy, fast paced and explosive sing-alongs; best shown on opener “No More”, the title track, and “Heavy Stones”. But it also shows a darker, more mature side, such as on the stripped back “Skeleton Key” and the haunting closing track “Grandfather’s Funeral” which simply features mandolin and Joshua Seymour’s vocals. Graveyard Train’s Josh Crawley and Harmony’s Erica Dunn add extra texture to several songs with slide guitar and backing vocals. The album was then mastered at Creepy Hollow by Loki Lockwood (The Drones, Beasts of Bourbon). Catchy and immediate, Book of Matches shouts the listener a drink and dances them around the room.
