GET READY TO MOVE: ELECTRIC EDINBURGH BAND BRING THE HEAT WITH NEW SINGLE
SINGLE REVIEW | BEFORE SUMMER FALLS – CHERRY RED by Hannah Lindsay
With soaring guitars, driving drums, and anthemic vocals, ‘Before Summer Falls‘ embodies the very essence of summer festival energy into a single, funky track. From the rising Edinburgh-based band Cherry Red, the song evokes the golden-hour buzz of a summer festival, capturing fleeting moments in a melody that feels both expansive and intimate. It’s the kind of track that invites crowds to jump beneath strings of lights, friends to sing along in cars, or solo listeners to get lost in its infectious rhythm. Dynamic guitar riffs and an upbeat rhythm makes Cherry Red’s latest track pure indie rock energy.
Cherry Red is made up of Rachel Moir (frontwoman), Katie Slater (drums), Alex Evans (bass), Josh Clark (vocals/guitar), and Luciano Cerchiari (guitar), and their dual vocal dynamic stands out as one of the song’s signature strengths. Whilst the song does radiate energy, it isn’t without sincerity. Beneath its breezy, upbeat sound, the lyrics carry surprising emotional weight. The interplay between male and female voices weaves through each chorus with fluidity and emotion, enabling a deeper sentiment of the song to resonate with the listener.
Produced in collaboration with Gold/Platinum-certified producer Christopher Marshall, the track enacts a playful, spirited energy that’s impossible to resist. With years of live performance experience shaping their sound, Cherry Red has crafted a song that is both effortlessly fun and emotionally immersive, making it a perfect addition to any playlist.
