The current lineup consists of guitarist and lead vocalist Clementine Creevy, bassist Devin O'Brien and drummer Tabor Allen. The band's sound has transitioned from lo-fi, garage-rock in their debut release Haxel Princess in 2014, to a more polished rock sound, with elements of grunge punk and new wave, in their sophomore release Apocalipstick in 2017.
The band has undergone a number of lineup changes since its inception. In 2015, Hannah Uribe left the band in pursuit of other artistic projects. In 2015, Cherry Glazerr saw the addition of two new musicians: multi-instrumentalist Sasami Ashworth on synths, who was invited to join the band by Sean Redman, and drummer Tabor Allen, who was subsequently invited to join the band by Ashworth. In mid-2016, and after participating in the recording of Apocalipstick, Redman departed and became a full-time member of his other band The Buttertones. He was replaced by bassist Devin O'Brien in 2017. In January 2018, Cherry Glazerr announced that Sasami Ashworth had left the band in order to concentrate on her own musical projects.
In November 2018, Cherry Glazerr announced their new album Stuffed & Ready. It was released on February 1, 2019.

Cherry Glazerr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna skip past every little moment
I don't wanna be wrapped up in these pieces
I don't wanna be wrapped up in these pieces
Nobody is chasing us
Nobody is running
Instead I beat myself
I don't wanna sit here thinking about you tonight
I don't wanna know what's wrong and what's right
I don't wanna be wrapped up in these pieces
I don't wanna be wrapped up in these pieces
Nobody is chasing us
Nobody is running
I don't wanna be wrapped up in these pieces
(I don't wanna be wrapped up in these pieces)
I don't wanna be wrapped up in these pieces
(I don't wanna be wrapped up in these pieces)
Nobody is chasing us
(Nobody is chasing us)
Nobody is running
The lyrics to Cherry Glazerr's "Pieces" convey a desire for connection and presence, while struggling to overcome internal mental obstacles. The opening line, "I just wanna touch you with my bleeding heart," suggests the singer is seeking intimacy and vulnerability with another person. They don't want to miss any opportunity for connection and want to be fully present in all the little moments. However, the singer is also struggling with a desire to break out of emotional fragmentation, feeling like they are "wrapped up in these pieces." They don't want to be stuck in a cycle of repeating the same mistakes or beating themselves up for not being able to communicate their feelings effectively.
The metaphor of being wrapped up in these pieces can also be interpreted as feeling trapped by one's own mental health struggles. The phrase "I hold my tongue so I don't repeat myself" could suggest a tendency towards negative self-talk or anxiety, and the final lines "Nobody is chasing us / Nobody is running" could imply a feeling of being stuck in a stagnant place where nothing is changing. Overall, the song seems to be expressing a desire for deeper connections and a need to break out of destructive patterns in order to attain them.
