Barrel of a Gun

Cherries On A Blacklist is a four-piece band formed by three Greeks (Andreas, George, Malapert), and a Mexican (Gonzo) based in Hamburg, Germany. 

Their debut album “Lakafigo” starts off strong with a driving rhythm section, interesting guitar-riffs, and distinctive vocals. Other tracks in the album like “Siren Song” and their single “Goat in the Yard” deliver a taste of the band’s smoother side, featuring cleaner sounds, nostalgic vocals, but still provide the roughness and live feel introduced from the very beginning.
With a few surprises here and there, ranging from unexpected (German, Spanish, and Greek) interludes to a colorful instrumental ending. 
“Lakafigo” is a well-rounded album with interesting structures and original ideas.

INFO – debut album “Lakafigo”,

Three Greeks and one Mexican in a band is something you do not hear of everyday. Cherries
On A Blacklist have fused their attractive cultural backgrounds in order to create their own unique rock
sound. If you could take the culture, the sound, and added live energetic performances into the mix
the end result would be their debut album “Lakafigo”. Cherries On A Blacklist recorded “Lakafigo” live
at “NULL ZWEI Studios” in Hamburg, Germany. Working together with producer Olman Viper (Emil
Bulls, Caliban, Jupiter Jones) they were able to create an album that delivers driving rhythm sections,
interesting guitar-riffs, and distinctive vocals.
“We wanted to make an album that sounded human”, said MALaPERT (drums), pointing out
one of the main reasons behind the band’s decision to do a live recording. In other words, what you
hear in “Lakafigo” is exactly what you get during their concerts.
Cherries On A Blacklist have performed in a number of locations in and outside of Hamburg,
including one of their most recent accomplishments; playing as a support act for Danish rockers
D.A.D. Apart from playing shows throughout Germany; the rock quartet has also played in Italy and
consecutive shows in Greece.
The road Cherries On A Blacklist have chosen for themselves is not an easy one, but it
doesn’t seem to slow them down. Their debut album “Lakafigo” will be hitting the physical and digital
markets May 4th, 2012.
