Roll down your car windows and turn those volumes up—Germany-based band Cherry Bomb is back and bringing in their latest fun album, “Sunset BLVD“! The music of the 80s has always been bangers that redefined a generation of rock music in the industry, and with this album, the band takes us into this nice throwback on this era of rock n roll, nostalgia, and classic sound that would certainly be familiar to your ears. Cherry Bomb is ready to bang its way into the center stage, and “Sunset BLVD” is just the right wrecking ball for it to happen.
Inspired by multiple musicians who are the foundation of the industry, Cherry Bomb brings in the nostalgia with their familiar sound to the links of Poison, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Motley Crue, and the list could go on! With this group formed in 2018, Chris P. Nuttz, Vince Vixxen, Ben Dover, Don Diego Duarte, and Neil N. Blomee are a perfect combination of all the right elements to recreate and give a fresher vibe to the iconic bands who have slayed in the 80s.
Sunset BLVD is as catchy as the album’s title track. It perfectly captures the vibe that this whole collection carries, which is that fun and exhilarating part of being free on a road trip down the highway, blasting loud music, and with wind messing up your hair. On first listen, it gives off that “Don’t Stop Believin’” type of vibe. This album is fun, and there’s no other way around to explain this. “Love Hurts” will welcome you with this intense delivery from the band’s vocals. With a track that talks about being stuck in the pit of misery after being hurt, this rock and roll classic is an absolute banger!
On the other hand, the song “Drive Fast” will give you a glimpse of some personal experiences that the band has gone through in their lives. This catchy track, with its intense and cool production, will remind you of the things that you did when you were young and crazy. The band has perfectly captured that fast-paced life through the production, which fits perfectly with the way the song was written and performed. Moreso, “Especially” offers the acoustic and mellow side of the band. With its enchanting acoustic guitar instrumentation that accentuated the way the vocalist sang, telling stories about the person that they dearly loved, whom they promised to be there for because they are their everything, this love song literally just bloomed on this album. The clear and emotional vocal performance on this track showcases the prowess of this band to easily switch from one genre to another.
To top it off, the tracks “Whisky A Go Go” and “Just Between You and Me” are the type of tracks that you’ll jump in on a fun moshpit in a concert. It is fun, it is packed with energy, and it is an absolute banger at the same time! This is a must-listen! Additionally, this album also features the tracks “Caribbean Summer,” “Seven Seas of Rock,” “Guardian Angel,” “Y.D.F.O.C.”. and “Forever and a Day,” which you will absolutely enjoy.
Sunset BLVD is your needed dose of rock ‘n roll—it is a perfect combination of everything that you wanted in an album. The grit, the angst, the love story, the fun? It’s all there, packed into this one album. Production-wise, it is top-notch; performance-wise, Cherry Bomb has definitely exceeded expectations.
