Cherym share raw take on Doja Cat's “Boss B*tch” for International Women's Day

Derry's pop-punk powerhouse, Cherym, kick off International Women's Day in their own unique style, offering their take on Doja Cat's “Boss B*tch” out now on a limited edition 7" vinyl via Alcopop! Records.

Fresh from a triumphant album release and UK headline tour, Cherym sets the tone for a year filled with sonic surprises and socially conscious tunes. In the spirit of International Women's Day, Cherym commits to donating a portion of the cover's proceeds to the Women For Women charity's Palestine appeal.

The fiery cover, described by guitarist/vocalist Hannah Richardson as:

"For International Women's Day this year we decided we wanted to do something different. We wanted to take our own approach to a song that we felt inspired by. We've always felt drawn to Doja Cats' originality and her take on femininity, which is why we felt so connected to this track in particular. 'Boss B*tch' to us is empowering, energetic and has what we would call raw bad b*tch energy."

"The first time I watched the Boss B*tch music video it really conveyed to me what a strong woman is, being able to see life through the lens of a woman instead of being subjected to the male gaze. This is something we wanted to portray for our own version of the song, conveying femininity, masculinity or anything in between through our own self autonomy rather than what's expected of us as women and femme presenting people."

Cherym continue to build on their recent success with announcements of upcoming festival appearances, including The Great Escape Festival, 2000 Trees, Wales Goes Pop, and Badlands Festival. The band will also be hitting the stage in their support slots for The Undertones and Enter Shikari. For ticket details, visit Ents24.

If you haven't already, be sure to check out Cherym's debut album, Take It Or Leave It, released last month. The album is on of our favourites of the year so far and we urge you to check it out.

As the band gears up for an exciting year ahead, marked by a series of live dates across Europe and the UK, Cherym's “Boss B*tch” cover stands as a testament to their evolving sound and commitment to making a positive impact, both in the music scene and beyond.
