CKY (sometimes stylized cKy) is an alternative metal band that formed in West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA in 1998. Traditionally centred on core members Deron Miller (vocals, guitar), Chad I Ginsburg (guitar, vocals) and Jess Margera (drums), the band shares its name with a skateboarding and stunt video series produced by Bam Margera, brother of drummer Jess. CKY is closely linked with the crew of the same name, and their music is often featured on the crew's productions including the Jackass and Viva La Bam television series. Read more on Last.fm

This debut from the Philadelphia based rockers shows the rock and roll world that CKY has chops and are ready to take a bite out of the music industry. This is a very experimental release, with a sound that can best described as a blend of punk, alternative, hard rock, and heavy metal. This album interconnected CKY to the skateboarding world with Bam Margera’s hit CKY video series and features such hit alternative anthems as 96 Quite Bitter Beings. This album shows a band willing to grow and experiment, willing to take risks and show that they had what it takes to take the world by storm.
