And yep, it's another ultra-cool sleaze/glam band who came at the wrong time. In spite of carving out a career beyond the realms of the grunge invasion; these guys should've been huge. Musically as infectious as a sexually transmitted disease, Cherry St. boasted the talents of members who would eventually go on to feature for acts such as Dangerous Toys, Vain, Roxx Gang, and in a sense they followed the same theme of releasing decent albums but not getting the recognition. Cherry St's debut album is one that stands out from the crowd; bolstered by fiery vocal sneers and weighty rhythms and above all, cool, classy swaggering tunes in abundance - nowhere more evident than on the smokin' title track and the drunken slam of 'Here I Come'. One of my favourite records in regards to releases that were criminally out of time and proof that 1992 wasn't just about lank-haired moodiness and dressed-down dullness.
8/10
