The white trashiness of the Eagles of Death Metal is personified in ‘Cherry Cola’ perfectly. The twangy blues guitar sound is an electrician’s nightmare, and producers around the globe would swear there’s a fault on the mixdown, but the throbby sound is exactly the tone Josh Homme and Jesse Hughes seek out. The rhythm is plodding, the drum fills burst through the seams of the track are accompanyed by thefeeble but perfect guitar solo of Homme. Eagles of Death Metal didn’t receive strong airplay for the album Death by Sexy, but this third and final single off of that album was one of the stand-out performances.
The Story
‘Cherry Cola’ was never as popular as the lead singles from Death by Sexy, ‘I Want You So Hard’ and ‘I Gotta Feelin’, but it gained notoriety and has become a fan favourite.
Josh Homme and Jesse Hughes are the only permanent members but a cavalcade of guest performers including Brody Swain, Jack Black, Liam Lynch and Mark Lanegan feature on Death by Sexy.
The single failed to chart unlike the earlier releases, but Death by Sexy reached #113 in the US and #103 in UK, with slightly better success throughout Europe.
