Artist Spotlight: Chokecherry

JUNE 26th, 2023

ChokeCherry is San Fransico’s latest Shoegaze garage-pop powered band on the scene. Formed by Scarlett Levinson (vocals, bass), Izzie Clark (vocals, guitar), and Maryzelle Ungo (drums) they released their dreamy Demo “Around Around Around” (produced by Nick Burke) in October of 2022 making a distinct space in the genre for the band.

Chokecherry continues to make waves with their new premier single “Glass Jaw,” a sure to become summer anthem. The song begins with blaring nostalgic grunge riffs that bleed into heady drums demanding that the stereo be turned up and the windows rolled down. Just as quickly as you’re enveloped in the verse, the chorus explodes into a heavy rhapsody of resounding bass and wistful vocals that will put a pit in the bottom of your heart. The song ends to the slow burn of guitar and whispered thoughts of hurt and frustration that graces the songs theme.

Catch them this summer in NYC at Mercury Lounge (6/29) for a show that is sure to leave you wanting more! Don’t forget to check out their Bandcamp linked below.
