Cherry Filter Returns With “Rocksteric"

[daehunf.livejournal.com]

Rock band Cherry Filter is returning to the scene with a new original album for the first time in three years. The album is titled “Rocksteric”, which is a play on the word “rock” and “hysteric”. They chose this title due to their promise to show the Korean music scene what true rock music is.

Their first single will be “Pianissimo”, which is a love song about swallowing all of your painful memories for the sake of the person you love. Unlike their past cheerful hits like “Romantic Cat” and “Flying Duck”, this song promises to be lyrical and poetic.

A representative of Cherry Filter stated, “The Korean mainstream music scene right now may be concentrated on idol bands, but they (Cherry Filter) believe in the power of rock… They’ve been working for the past three years for the sake of this one album. With the conviction that people can be touched not by trends, but by good music, they have decided to make their comeback with ‘Rocksteric’, which contains a more paroxysmal rock mentality.”

Always willing to experiment with new sounds, Cherry Filter takes their rock music to a new level. Cherry Filter's latest album mainly features simple straightforward rock, but they've also integrated elements like techno and strings.

“Rocksteric” is set to hit stores on the 27th, and Cherry Filter will perform their comeback stage also on the 27th at Mnet M Countdown.
