He was just born with that voice. Like he just talks and the you get the most perfect indie vocal sounds immediately. And then the band is perfect too. So it seems effortless. Amazing...
Gotta admit I was screaming the lyrics of When Life Hands You Problems like I'd be home alone (I'm not). Next time you are in Europe come down to Slovenia! 🙃
Thing is there really ain't many bands out there that when you listen to them for the first time tuat you can hear such a broad/widespread spectrum of influnce regarding era and genre. I actually just listen to these for the first time and it is quite ridiculous just how many bands these sound like in a really positive way mind
These guys are so rad and down to earth got to get a drink with them a while back at one of there shows in LA just a bunch of super dooper Vibin peeps 🤙🏼 cheek freeks unite 🎾 🥧 🥖
Like far far far away from you because you hate how they sound?? C'mon now my friend I think that's a little bit too harsh now don't ya think ? I think they sound splendid... No need to b rash m8
I bought a ticket to see them 6 months back but of course I tested positive for covid days before the show 😭 Come to the east coast again so I can love you guys
this comment is almost a year old but jsyk cheekface said in a reddit AMA that they would absolutely open for car seat headrest....... perhaps one day we might get a one trait danger/cheekface collab.............
"Why Do I Feel So Weird" is like if They Might Be Giants heard Nada Surf's "Popular" and went home and wrote a song. Not that that's a bad thing... EDIT--I made this comment before I heard "Popular 2" lol, which is nothing like Nada Surf, it's pure They Might Be Giants
I wonder if Greg has a rapidly cycling frontal lobe like I do, constantly in a psychiatric state of Displacement, but instead of just being action paralyzed he writes down all of the bifurcating, disjointed thoughts, and picks one to repeat for the chorus? Or perhaps he's just a smart, empathetic guy living in a country that treats those values as obstructive to the workforce so he feels disconnected? Could be anything.
The first song is a direct rip of the Dead Kennedy's Pull My Strings with LCD Soundsystem vocals and nonsense lyrics that will date itself in a couple years tops
@@CLTivruski because I don't like when people rip music, slow it down, and then say cringey gibberish phrases over it that hold no meaning outside of being quirky. aight. so be it.
It's actually a really well written pop song , it doesn't rip that song off, chorus is a world away. Similar riff maybe, but rock and roll begs borrows and steals.they are actually doing something new and interesting with the tired format of indie rock and that's very difficult to achieve.
@@ratsontherails there isn’t one aspect of that song pavement, the dead kennedy’s, lcd soundsystem hasn’t done 10x better. You steal general ideas and style when making art and build upon concepts created. You don’t completely rip off riffs without doing anything to alter it. That’s obvious.
It's a good day to be a Cheekfreak
GOOD

Today
It's like Talking Heads, Pavement and They Might Be Giants had a weird orgy, and after it finished a Cheekface baby was born!
That is the most Greg Greg I’ve ever seen

Amazing...
This is exactly the kind of music I expect when I type indie/alternative
Popular 2 is a perfect song. Brings a smile to my face every time I listen to it.

"Keep Honking, I'm Reloading My 311 CD" is such a mood

I agree with everyone's band influences heard here, just to add a pinch of Fred from the B52s. Fun stuff - like it!

7:52 Song 3 "Popular 2"
Keep on keeping on
Awesome band!
Love the brake rotor percussion rofl
Listen to your heart
They sound a bit like the grandchildren of Pixies and Royal Bangs. Nice 👍
I was thinking Talking Heads and They Might Be Gianys
❤
wait, is greg katz related to andrew katz?

'Why Do I Feel So Weird' is like Frank Black backed by Parquet Courts covering a Thinking Fellas Union Local 282 song
Never heard funny music that I actually keep coming back to before. Really good band.

19:21 Cake's Fashion Nugget?
Frank Zappa once wondered if this band is possible. I think the video proves the existence of humor in music.
Is it in the rhyming Bectionary?
I am reminded of the band 'Burning Hell', with a similar kind of 'cheekiness'.
Tecueme Cheekeface
I didn't know Will Ferrell have a band

This is a fun take on a retro 80's new wave/satire punk
Pretty much Aquabats / Pavement / They Might be giants. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Amusing but pretty much a They Might Be Giants reboot.
Sounds nothing like them
as the number one tmbg and cheekface fan i would have to disagree
The singer is kind of insufferable but it somehow makes it work
The first song is a direct rip of the Dead Kennedy's Pull My Strings with LCD Soundsystem vocals and nonsense lyrics that will date itself in a couple years tops
I bet you're fun at parties.

@@ESTcor who needs originality when a song feels as good as this. Hooks for days.
