Feb 4, 2019While the best material here represents stylistic evolution or at least enhancement of the best parts of Cherry Glazerr's recent sound, Stuffed & Ready as a whole spoils quickly, fizzling from righteous anthems of anger and self-questioning into monotonous and self-absorbed alt-rock rewrites.

Feb 1, 2019While not a record that’s likely to raise their star, Stuffed & Ready is one that shows a band resolutely ploughing their own furrow without compromise.

Feb 1, 2019If Apocalipstick saw Creevy swept up in mainstream music headlines, Stuffed & Ready (much like a well-seasoned Thanksgiving dinner) is self-satisfying, turning inwards on her own state rather than the United kind.

Jan 30, 2019Too bad the music isn't as varied. In replacing keyboardist Sasami Ashworth with bassist Devin O'Brien, Cherry Glazerr have gone from wiry and versatile to big and bulky, but their titanic low-end quickly becomes stiflingly repetitive.

Feb 1, 2019The garage pep of the band’s previous album, Apocalipstick, vanishes in favour of gloomy alt-rock and rain-soaked grunge – all cavernous bass and sludgy guitar – that inevitably crashes into towering, ferocious choruses. The effect is appropriately claustrophobic to Creevy’s insular theme, but difficult to endure across 10 incredibly samey tracks.

Feb 25, 2019This is the perfect album for when your backyard is on fire but you're too drunk to do anything about it, and screaming is the only option.
