If ya don’t know, Cheeky were a Long Island & Brooklyn-based band that were active from 2007 - 2010(?) They were one of the first Quote Unquote releases and also one of my favorite bands! They played very good poppy punk songs fast and loud, throwing middle fingers at toxic jerks ruining punk spaces and singing songs about days when the world just feels like absolute shit and you don’t want to do anything - doing it all with a sense of humor that eschewed any hipster snob bullshit. Bomb the Music Industry! played with them a bunch and I saw them every chance I could get, mostly at DIY spots and apartment shows around Brooklyn where everyone in the room was singing along loudly with a big smile on their face.
In 2019 while moving across the country, I was hoping to listen to their LP What The Heck? on my cellular telephone and was having a hard time finding it. It was a LONG drive, so Christine and I started talking about how sick it would be if all of Cheeky’s songs were just on ONE LP. Operation Ivy did it! So did Minor Threat! And Charles Bronson! WHY NOT CHEEKY?!?! Their music holds up just as well today as it did then and honestly it’d be a tragedy if it got lost to the sands o’ time.
So I sent a text to Cheeky bass player/my birthday twin/former Long Island ska friend Kate Wadkins and 18 months and one pandemic later HERE WE ARE AT FREAKY DEAKY. All the Cheeky songs you wanna listen to, remastered by Jack Shirley, on a limited blue vinyl pressing with a big ol’ collage insert and digital streaming services so you can stick it in your pocket and listen to it on the go! Wow! Tech!!
I’m really excited for Cheeky fans to have this one, I’m really excited for Cheeky n00bz to discover their new favorite punk band and I’m really excited for myself that this record exists because now I can listen to all these songs in one place! Hope you like it, and if ya like it freakin tell everybody baby!!!! OK BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
