CHERRY CHEEKS - D.O. & The Bytes LP

Total Punk Records.

CHERRY CHEEKS go on with another LP full of simplesongs with drum machine and computer instruments. Who would have thought that "bedroom projects" could be boring...

"Cherry Cheeks are back with their third album, and it’s a concept album! A concept album is a bold statement and The Cheeks manage to pull it off and then some.. Over the course of 14 tracks we follow our digital hero D.O as he is pursued by the evil Reapers. Their goal: to wipe his memory, but in service of who? It's a rock opera by way of a really awesome Saturday morning cartoon! Kyle Harms' song writing chops have leveled up, and this thing is nothing but hits top to bottom. It drills its way into your head! Tough when it needs to be but also oozing with pop hooks. Kyle handled everything from playing all the instruments and production, which is incredible, to the impeccable art. It’s a testament to his talent that he can pull this off without delving into the world of the hokey. The lyrics and story telling are really astounding. Nice to see a hometown kid knock it so far out the park. Grab your cereal and tune in to the world of D.O. & The Bytes. It will most likely seem very familiar. "
