CKY

I was at a party a few weeks ago and I remember someone talking about CKY and I tried to make a mental note to look it up when I got home.  Totally forgot about it, but then stumbled across it on itunes.  

When I'm going to get an album from a band that I have never heard before, I always get the oldest album.  I find it always has the most raw and rocking sound too it.  Usually less over-produced than more recent albums.  So I picked 'Camp Kill Yourself Volume 1' for my purchase.  It's wicked.  It's metal and punk and harmonious.  

 

The band formed in Pennsylvania in 1998 and shares it's name with the CKY video series (the beginnings of Jackass).  The drummer is Jess Margera, brother of Bam Margera, who exclusively put their songs on a skate video he released in 1999 called 'Landspeed: cKy'.  They released 2 albums to coincide with the video and started touring with Warped Tour.

I suggest at least having a sample listen on itunes if you have it, my fav song right now is 'Disengage the Simulator'.
