After a five-year hiatus, Eora/Sydney act Forever Ends Here are making a return to the music scene. Their comeback single “Cherry Chapstick” is an infectious pop-punk track that you’ll find yourself singing long after its last notes fade out.
“The reunion has been in the works for quite some time now,” explained the band’s songwriter and vocalist, Luke McChesney. “We always thought we’d do some kind of one-off club show to celebrate 10 years of our second EP, but we got talking last year about all the things we miss about the band and all the possibilities if we reopened the door. We’ve done a lot of growing since the band split, not only as people but as songwriters too and it seems a shame not to share that growth with the people who stuck by us.”
Talking about “Cherry Chapstick,” he explained that “lyrically the song is about being involved with someone who you know is playing you, and playing them right back – ‘I can be your cherry chapstick, pressed against your lips ’til you lose me. You can keep me in your pocket, you always look your best when you use me’”.
