Yes! Currently, Cherry Glazerr is Clem on guitars and vocals, Tabor holding it down on the drums and samplers, and Livvy as our touring bassist. We are a beefy three-piece.

I do! I think Cherry Glazerr has grown in a lot of ways, and obviously, I am a very different person with very different thoughts and feelings than when I was 16. But I think it’s more sub perceptual than I can articulate. But yes, Stuffed & Ready is a lot about growing pains.

Yes, to me, punk is about community. Fostering a community where the marginalized ones can freely say ‘fuck you’ to their oppressors and be supported in that. It is extremely healthy for society to have those types of communities. Feminism is the push towards economic and social equality between men and women, which does not exist yet and therefore is punk and brave.

No, it does not. I hire women. For example, a woman as FoH/TM (Front of House/Tour Manager), and it’s been a joy to have her as our crew. We’re currently still a small operation and generally are only able to afford one crew member. What we can do is hire women, it’s easy. We also have a woman merch person, so we have a two-women crew.

Amyl and The Sniffers, Nickelus F and Helado Negro are all things we’ve been jamming.

The video was partially influenced by Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria, a film that we as the band and the director Jess both really loved. It had just come out a few months before and we thought it would be cool and fun to go for it with the frenetic colours and contortion-style dancing. Right now, I feel influenced by Bunny Michael, both in manner and in style. They’re the coolest. 

The industry definitely has an unhealthy obsession with aesthetic and imagery surrounding musical artists. It can be frustrating, especially for a group that has an always revolving cast of musicians. But all that matters is having fun making music and playing the shows. That is the reason we do this, because it feels good to make music.

#freethenipple movement is an amazing and very necessary thing. I support it wholeheartedly. A friend of mine in high school tried to put together a staged protest in our neighbourhood where we would go topless by the freeway and hold #freethenipple signs. Back then, I was too afraid to be a part of it because of my ingrained fear about the laws that prohibit me from showing my nipples, as well as the deeply ingrained sexism within me. I was too ashamed and scared of getting arrested. The fear and powerlessness surrounding this is real and something we should absolutely be raging against. So going topless at shows, where I feel I have created a safe atmosphere to do that, has been extremely liberating for me.
