Nasty Cherry is an alt-pop quartet formed in 2019, notable for their unique origin as a 'manufactured' band with genuine indie-rock pedigree. Assembled by pop innovator Charli XCX and documented in the Netflix series 'I am with the Band', the group features members with established backgrounds, most notably Chloe Chaidez of Kitten.
Their sound identity is a deliberate fusion of 80s new wave, garage rock, and contemporary art pop, often characterized by Gabbriette Bechtel's deadpan, low-register vocals and a production style that emphasizes analog warmth within a digital pop framework. Critically, they are viewed as an experiment in modern stardom, testing whether the 'girl group' format can be successfully applied to an alternative rock aesthetic. Their influence web connects the bratty energy of the 70s punk scene to the hyper-stylized pop of the Vroom Vroom Recordings era. Despite their reality-TV beginnings, the band earned respect for their songwriting and tight live performances, positioning them as a bridge between mainstream pop accessibility and indie-rock credibility.
