Sounding a little like a Shangri-Las song written on a guitar that’s falling apart, Cherry Pickles' “It Will All End In Tears” paints an emotion so vividly that it’s hard not to fall for it.

For bands, it’s a great day to release an anti-romance track, and Priscila B and Mimi B, aka Cherry Pickles, have delivered the damaged goods with a lo-fi fuzz track played entirely on thrift-store instruments.

“It Will All End In Tears” is something more ambitious than Cherry Pickles' last single “Elvis Exorcist” – a short, scrappy garage-rock take on a falling-off-the-edge-of-the-world epic romance disaster ballad.

The band say: “We made the video in 24 hours in a whirlwind of bucks fizz, Cachaça and a tangled mess of obsolete technology. Tapas and tapes were everywhere. Who is on the other end of the line? It’s all deliberately vague because this song now belongs to YOU, our valentine!”

“It Will All End In Tears” is out now, and their debut album Cherry Pickles Will Harden Your Nipples is released 5 April on PNKSLM. Find Cherry Pickles on Facebook.
