Listen to Cherym’s new single Do It Another Day – an “anthem for all the ADHDers out there” – taken from their 2024 debut album Take It Or Leave It.
Cherym have confirmed the release of their debut album, Take It Or Leave It.
The Northern Irish trio will be unveiling the long-awaited LP – which has been “developing for the last six years of our lives” – on February 16, 2024 via Alcopop! Records.
They announce in a statement: “Whenever we started the band the end goal was to create music that we enjoyed, and if that meant other people could relate to it and enjoy it too, then all the better. As three queer people who didn’t really fit the criteria when it came to the DIY music scene at that time, we have watched as the scene has evolved and grown into something much more inclusive and beautiful that we can now confidently say we feel like we’re part of.
“This album tells the story of how our lives have been transformed in the last six years – two EPs, lots of shows all over the world, and a few pronoun changes later… we made the record we needed to hear when we were growing up. Take It Or Leave It.”
To coincide with the announcement, Cherym have also unveiled ace new single Do It Another Day, which vocalist Hannah Richardson shares came about following an ADHD diagnosis earlier in the year.
“For the first time in my life I realised that I wasn’t just a complete idiot and I actually had an illness that explained why I am the way I am,” Hannah says. “I guess the diagnosis also prompted creativity and so Do it Another Day was born. Whenever we recorded it in the studio we just knew straight away that we wanted it to be the anthem for all the ADHDers out there who, like me, struggle with productivity and finding that initial bit of motivation you need to clean your room, or do laundry, or sometimes even get a shower… because that’s the reality of living with ADHD. If this is you, we really hope this song allows you to feel heard ’n’ we love you.”
