Hello there,
I've recently ran out of music to listen to, so I went through my archive, from the age when I still had money to buy CDs. This age is long-over, and I keep a list of CDs I have yet to buy. To cut a long story short, I found my CKY-albums again.
I dunno about the USA, but here, you don't hear anything like them. They're just unique. Sure, they're not on the radios, MTV only broadcasts their songs when they're in Jackass or Viva La Bam. So, basically, nobody knows them over here. I'm sure that this is different in your place, since I've seen concert-videos.
So for everyone who doesn't know: CKY is a band. And if you'd never think that none of the Margera family, aside from April and Phil, could ever come up with something actually enjoyable, then you haven't seen what Jess Margera, Bam's brother, does. He's the drummer of this band. So here's who's in it:
Deron Miller: Vocals, guitar, bass
Chad Ginsburg: Vocals, guitar, bass
Jess Margera: Drums
Matt Deis: Bass
Their music is hard to describe (if someone could help me out here, I'd be glad), but I'd put them in the rock genre. You most likely know a song of theirs if you either played "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3" or if you have seen the shopping-cart stunt on Jackass. If you want any more information, make sure to have a look at their Official page (http://www6.islandrecords.com/cky/index.php).
My personal favourite is "Disengage the simulator" from "Volume 1". I can't really say why, but it has something cheerful yet dark and gloomy to it.But then again, I lack comparision here.
Apparently they have a new album called "An answer can be found", which I haven't heard so far. Is it any good? I read that they're becoming "sell-outs", but then again, people say that about just every band today.
You can, of course, add your comments to the band, their music and your favorites here.
