Description
Cheekface is an indie rock trio, more precisely atalk-singing band, from Los Angeles.
The story starts in 2017. Things were getting prettycrappy on Earth. Indie rock lifers Greg and Mandy got together to write out theanxiety, despair and the bleak humor of it all. They sent the demos to Echoand, voila, a band.
It wasn't a project that started with much ambition: theidea was to drop a record on Bandcamp and call it a day. But in 2018, theband's second single "Dry Heat/Nice Town," a playful pub rock tuneabout leftist protest culture, started to snowball online. A word-of-mouth cultstarted to form, and it intensified with Cheekface's community-minded singalongshows. Fans dubbed themselves "Cheek Freaks."
The band chased their 2019 debut LP "TherapyIsland" with 2021's "Emphatically No," which bowed as Bandcamp'stop-selling alternative album. Their 3rd LP "Too Much to Ask" in 2022was a watershed moment: it shot to #2 on the non-commercial radio chart, andThe Needle Drop proclaimed it one of the year's best albums. Cheekface's 4thalbum "It's Sorted" came out January 22, 2024. Touring to support"It's Sorted," the band sold out shows across the US, Canada and theUK.
