CKY to play Station-4 amongst huge 39-date Summer tour
In support of the band’s recently released album, Carver City, West Chester, PA’s CKY has announced a massive 39-date tour that will take it all across the U.S. and Canada. The album comes as the band’s first on the traditionally heavy-leaning Roadrunner Records, and its first away from Island since its 1999 debut, Volume 1.
Four years since the band’s last release, Carver City was on the verge of never being finished as the band began to come undone during the recording of the album. “The band were halfway through the writing of their forthcoming album, Carver City (which was recorded and produced by Ginsburg at his new Studio CIG in Pennsylvania), CKY found itself unable to resolve internal issues, resulting in the band being put on the backburner. For an entire year, Ginsburg and Miller did not speak, nor did Miller and Margera…”
Guitarist Chad I. Ginsburg recalls,
“Trying to please each other and ourselves… that’s always the challenge. We wouldn’t release a note at this point if we didn’t dig what we were doing. This whole record was done basically without speaking to each other. It was just the music, and work, work, work all the time, with no bullshit. Learning to solely communicate through the music alone was tough but I know we did the right thing taking our time with Carver City.”
The album has already spawned two singles, “Hellions on Parade” and “A#1 Roller Rager,” the latter of which was recently given the video treatment.
