Memphis emotional post hardcore act CHERRY SMOKE teasing new EP with screamy, haunting new single “Prisoners”

ByKarol KamińskiPosted on April 24, 2023COMMENTS CHERRY SMOKE, an emerging post hardcore band from Memphis, Tennessee, has just released their newest single “Prisoners” – a poignant exploration of regret, loss, and the struggle to avoid pain. Drawing on deeply personal experiences and influences from literary greats such as James Joyce, the band’s lyrics invite listeners to confront their own reflections on life, love, and death. With the haunting repetition of the Joyce quote “They lived, they loved, they laughed, they left” in the song’s bridge, CHERRY SMOKE weaves a powerful tapestry of emotion and introspection. “Prisoners” is a part of CHERRY SMOKE’s third EP, “Out of Pocket”, which is set to be released in early Summer 2023.
