CHERUBS

Rightfully hailed as “the noisiest pop music on the planet” by Pitchfork, Austin, TX’s cult noise rock trio CHERUBS have been purveyors of sonic bedlam since their inception in 1991.

After an unforeseen return to the scene from a two-decade hiatus in 2014, the CHERUBS have now joined forces with the equally revered Relapse Records for the release of their fifth long-player Inmaculada High. Recorded and engineered by Erik Wofford (Explosions in the Sky, The Black Angels, My Morning Jacket) at Cacophony Studio in Austin, Inmaculada High is 11 songs of signature CHERUBS clamor with an added twist of Texas-sized, psychedelic racket.

Smooth, rumbling low-end rhythms interplay with feedback drenched, chuggin’ guitars,
relentless tone and vocalist Kevin Whitley’s shrill, life-of-the-LSD-party vocals. On Immaculada High, CHERUBS loudly proclaim their title as bonafide noise rock legends who continue to forge transgressive yet remarkably accessible punk for a jaded world.

Following Immaculada High, CHERUBS tapped Brutal Panda Records to reissue their
legendary catalog including a remastered version of Icing, the band’s iconic debut. Heroin Man (1994’s noise rock masterpiece) and 2 Ynfynyty (the triumphant comeback album) are also back in circulation to rattle speakers and fry brains. The cacophony legacy of CHERUBS is now readily available for all to experience…and far from finished

Rid of Me

Heavy, melodic noise punk from Philadelphia featuring members of Fight Amp and Low Dose. Loud and quiet, raw yet honed,

Rid Of Me strikes a nerve for anyone wanting to hear melody, emotion and punishing groove filtered through walls of noise and dissonance.
