| Formed
a year ago, Darwen based Cherrybomb are a covers band with a difference.
Their diverse set makes them appeal to a wide audience from teenyboppers
to hard core music lovers.
The
band is made up of Craig Shorrack, vocals, Simon Hopwood and Benn
Robinson on guitar, Pete Meleady, bass and Gary Jones on drums.
Named
after a closed down record shop in Manchester, Cherrybomb are currently
playing the local circuit in a bid to "introduce younger people
(as well as experienced ears) to live music and show them that it's
not all 70's rock and songs that you know the words to!"
Their
current set includes tracks by David Bowie, Mel C, Primal Scream
and Pink to name just a few.
Guitarist
Ben told us that the band aim to "have enormous fun making
great music that people aren't expecting to hear".
