CKY Signs With Roadrunner 2006-12-07 by Jom | 5 Comments | Courtesy of Blabbermouth:
Roadrunner Records has announced the worldwide signing of genre-defying rock outfit CKY.
Says a Roadrunner executive:
CKY is a massively underrated band. Everything about them screams unique, from Deron Miller's dark, melodic vocals and iconoclastic songwriting, to Chad I Ginsburg's cutting-edge production and mix techniques, to their one-of-a-kind guitar sound and rampant use of the Moog synthesizer. They simply sound like no other band I have ever heard. I've known Deron since he was a teenager and have been dying to work with CKY ever since I heard the stunning 'Infiltrate-Destroy-Rebuild' album. I am honored to finally have the opportunity to do so, with such a forward-thinking band.
CKY are also stoked with the signing, and each member sounded off:
Said Deron Miller:
Roadrunner is one of my all-time favorite labels, so for me this partnership is very inspiring on a personal level and the fans will hear that on our next record.
Jess Margera added:
It's seriously an honor to be working with such a legendary rock/metal label like Roadrunner. CKY has had a great relationship with Roadrunner over the years and our signing with them seems long overdue.
Chad I Ginsburg wraps up:
CKY has never had the rep for being an easy band to work with. We've only been honest and best of all, enterfuckintaining! Believe it. That said, Roadrunner, the label with God-sized balls, has decided to take the CKY challenge! God bless 'em! So, that's two laser-sighted entities combined. Legendary. The potential is exciting to say the least. The future is purely for our enjoyment. CKY and RR — let's do this.

Its kinda hard to believe Island signed CKY in the first place. Not because CKY is bad, but Island mostly just signs mainstream/pop sounding artists.

I was pleasently suprised the first time I heard CKY. I expected them to be some average run of the mill punk band. What I got was this highly original band that actually did something interesting with their instruments. Not the biggest fan, but they don't get as much respect as they should.

The label is good the band sux.

cool to see a local band get a big deal like this

Definitely. Deron's hyping gets on my nerves a bit too. All in all tho, I enjoy them. For the most part, I enjoy Roadrunner as well.
