Rotten Cheri, the rock trio from Brooklyn, N.Y., is continuing to grow with latest record, "02".
The band, formed in 2004, consists of Stephanie St. Hilaire on vocals, Howard Alper on drums, and guitarist Kee Chung. They fit so well together to create a catchy rock sound that has some punk roots to it.
At times on the record, the band sounds very deep, dark and a little disturbed. But at the same time, Stephanies' vocals are a ray of sunshine that make you want to sing along on the choruses. There are 9 tracks on the record and all of them are good. My favorite track is "Get Out & Go Away". This is rock and roll with attitude, but also lets you know they deeply care and are serious about their music and what they are saying.
On some of the tunes they sound a bit like early No Doubt, on some others they sound a bit like Veruca Salt, and yet the vocals remind me more of Garbage. But they have their own Rock/Pop/Punk/Alternative sound.
If you like any of these bands or are simply into punk/ska with female vocals, this album will not let you down. The band is tight and the sky is the limit for this trio, as I am sure we will be hearing a lot from Rotten Cheri in the months and years to come.
