Cherym have shared a video for their new single, ‘Listening To My Head’.
Out now via Alcopop! Records, the pop-punk number follows on from the news that the Northern Irish trio are going to tour the UK this October with cheerbleederz.
“This is a song we wrote after Hannah watched the Netflix series Dirty John,” the band explain. “It’s written from the point of view of Betty Broderick, wife of Dan Broderick, a successful business man who used Betty to gain his success, tormented her life, left her penniless in the divorce settlement, took full custody of their children, and abused her throughout their relationship. In the end she ended up killing him…and his lover, but that’s beside the point. This is Betty’s song.”
Of the video, the add: “The music video for ‘Listening To My Head’ is a full on 5 star drama about Betty Broderick being mentally tortured by her lying, cheating husband of 20 years (Dan Broderick) until she one day snaps and murders Dan and his lover in cold blood….except we play all the characters, and have funny wigs to match.”
“Of course, we don’t condone murder (!!!!!) but felt Betty’s story was one that needed to be told.”
