If you follow Charli XCX, you'll have noticed her consistently posting about and cheering on a band called Nasty Cherry, comprised of four Runaways-lookin' rocker girls with not much of a social following and no music out.

Many of Charli's fans questioned why she was championing them on so much, and this week she's finally revealed that she's been working with Nasty Cherry for the past six months on their debut EP, as well as signing them onto her label Vroom Vroom Recordings.

ok so some of you may have noticed how I keep posting about @nastycherryband on my page and loads of you are asking “who the fuck even ARE Nasty Cherry anywaysss?!” I’m sure u do this coz you’re all a bunch of sassy motherfuckers (said with love) WELL let me tell you (finally!) Nasty Cherry is a band I’ve been working on for the past six months. They consist of four amazing women - @gabbriette @georgiasomary @chloechaidez & @debbiedrums. I have been co writing with them (alongside working on my own stuff - don’t freak out) working towards an ep which they’re gonna release later this year. It’s been so exciting and it feels like being back in the True Romance days. It’s inspiring for me to be so creatively involved in another project, not only with music but with videos and live ideas and all sorts of things. They release their first song on March 11th and I’m so proud to have been a part of creating it alongside the girls and @justinraisen who was also a huge part of True Romance, my first album. I honestly think if you liked my early stuff you will love them. I feel so proud to be working with these women. I don’t play instruments (sometimes privately but it’s pretty basic stuff) but these girls play and write and crush everythinggg and are so exciting and inspiring to be around. I kinda wanna be them??? I love supporting my friends and collaborating creatively and when those friends are women it sort of makes the whole thing even more magical. I hope you learn to love them as much as I do. Look out for the song March 11th. Dropping more info tomorrow. Ps if ur in LA Nasty Cherry are playing a show march 15th. Ticket link in bio. Love you all.

She's been co-writing with them as well as collaborating on their videos and other creative projects, and we've scored the first listen of Nasty Cherry's first song today, a track called Win.

It's a punky sort of song with '80s and '90s influences, which Charli reckons "feels like being back in the True Romance days". 

And if you're wondering, Nasty Cherry are Chloe Chaidez, Georgia Somary, model Gabbriette Bechtel and Charli XCX's drummer Deborah Knox-Hewson.
