The bulletin is that cherub rockers Cherry Glazerr have signed to the Secretly Canadian label. And the other news is that the new single “Told You I’d Be With the Guys” sounds predictably more grown-up that the garage-rock clamor on the trio’s 2014 debut “Haxel Princess.” The song is 19-year-old Clementine Creevy’s barbed declaration of solidarity with other women — a notable undercurrent on today’s L.A. scene, in case you’ve missed movements like GIRLSCHOOL and Play Like a Girl, and in case you aren’t keen to the fact that more than half of 2016’s best L.A. rock albums have been released by female-fronted bands (Death Valley Girls, Feels, Dorothy, among others). “I told you, told you I’d be with the guys / But I know better now / Than to be with the guys,” Creevy declares, adding, with acid, “I was a lone wolf / I thought I lost my pack / Where are my ladies? / I guess that was my fault.” Director Riley Blakeway populates the video for the song with interchangeable dudes in polo shirts and khakis. No word on and album or EP release, but the trio — Creevy, Tabor Allen and Sasami Ashworth — have some fall festival dates ahead.
