If Joy Division and The Strokes had a baby, it might sound something like The Cherubs. I’m really digging the new wave meets modern rock sound of their new single “Nausea”. The biting lyrics are also delicious. Trust me, you’ll want to crank this one up.
“This song came together on the final days of us writing the EP,” The Cherubs said in a statement. “In fact, Dylan (Clark) wrote the guitar and lyrics overnight while babysitting two cats and the next day we jammed it out as a band. It was a very quick song to write, what with not overthinking the arrangement, rather letting the guitars call-and-response be the hook and allow the lyrics to tell somewhat of a statement against it all.”
The Cherubs collaborated with director/editor Liam Clark, cinematographer Ian Tyler, and students from the SAE Institute for the music video.
“The music video was shot in half a day at Good Egg Studios in Riverstone,” The Cherubs added. “It’s worth noting Tim Berner on bass was attacked by a cactus the day of shooting and as a result had to be replaced by a dear friend and guitarist José Herández.”
