Bluesy Skateboard-core with cKy

cKy was one of those bands that you only had "96 Quite Bitter Things" you downloaded off Limewire because you heard it on MTV.  Well, cKy is better than that single track and this bluesy riffage is proof:

To be honest, they could just cut out most of the boring vocals of meaningless lyrics and just focus on that opening riff, cut the song down by a minute and add more double kick.  Luckily my opinions were not important to cKy's producer who made this banger of an album.

If you think about it, no one rips on cKy saying they are sissy easycore or "not metal" or whatever. cKy brings together elitist metalheads with their near cousins the weed-smoking skateboard kids listening to punk.  Hell, when these two forces got together and procreated we got the Killswitch Engages, Atreyus, and As I Lay Dyings.  Carver City was a great album that saw support on both sides of the aisle and it looks like cKy is putting something out this year.
