Carver City

Dave Jaffer

CKY sometimes gets smack-talked because their drummer is Bam Margera's brother. And, honestly, their back catalogue ain't that special. That said, Carver City is going to change perceptions of the West Chester, PA band. Why? It's heavy, but not strictly metal, and definitely not skater/stoner metal. Margera's drumming isn't metal drumming. The Moog-y moments and weirdo bits "Plagued by Images" bend it away from convention. Its songs, like "Imaginary Threats", have an arena-rock, uncomplicated, accessible feel that bend it back t'other way. Truth told, I'm not sure I was ready for Carver City to be this interesting.

CKY completing work on Carver City set for release on May 19th .

New York, NY – CKY has completed mixing their 4th record, tentatively titled Carver City, set for release on Roadrunner Records on May 19. As with all their previous albums, Carver City was produced by the band’s guitarist Chad I Ginsburg. The album was recorded at Studio CIG in the band’s home state of Pennsylvania and mixed by Chad and Phil Nicolo at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, PA. Some of the eleven tracks set to appear include: "Hellions On Parade," "The Boardwalk Body," "…And She Never Returned,” “Karmaworks” and "Woe Is Me.”

Singer Deron Miller comments, “Literally all the things that have been keeping CKY strong since our last album - the undying hardcore support of our fans, our unorthodox musical approach and a brand new partnership with Roadrunner Records - have restored an enthusiasm within our band that has never been this extreme. Sobriety, hard work, patching up inner turmoil and a love for what we do has undoubtedly made this the most collaborative and focused CKY effort to date.”

Ginsburg concurs: “The album is more inventive and more layered than our past releases, with the most melodies, textures and riffs of any CKY album. It is by far the most inspired album we have ever made."

According to Miller, Carver City carries with it a “dark summer vacation vibe,” nostalgic of the band members’ childhood trips to the East Coast beaches. “The fabled town of Carver City has a history of bad luck and misfortune, all the while giving the impression that it’s a pleasant family getaway. Much like CKY's town of Hellview, Carver City's events are depicted in the songs, with story lines coming from real life events.”

CKY are planning to tour in support of their Roadrunner debut in the spring.
