Sorry, So Cyco: The Sheckies' Recordings Collection (2005-2012)

Heavily influenced by The Ramones and many of today's Pop Punk artists, The Sheckies were in the forefront of the "Pogo Punk" movement. The Band formed in February 2004, and their songs noted for their simplicity, brevity, high energy and fun lyrics. An absolute champion stuff!








The Sheckies are back serving up yet another pogo-punk masterpiece & this CD-EP features all the classic goofball anthems you've grown to expect from these New Jersey pop-punkers. From the instant classic "Paranoid Together" to the gutbuster "Better Than Star Wars", this seven-song EP has all the right ingredients to suit any appetite!

Sorry, So Cyco: The Sheckies' Recordings Collection (2005-2012)

Close

Snotty, upbeat, three chord Ramones influenced punk rock served with a side of boardwalk fries. The Sheckies have the traditional pop punk style in which they are counting off their three-chord sonic explosions with a "One, Two, Three, Four!" launching into Ramones like anthems such as "Lose My Head" & "Paranoid Together" with clean licks and steady beats. There is not one bad song on this Cabana 1 instant classic. The only thing that sucks about this tasty sweet & sour release is that it’s only 13,5 minutes long. Seriously, The Sheckies are too fun of a band to tease you with a quicky that leaves you longing for another taste of their sweet musical nectar…

This split features two of Punks finest examples of having fun while you play- the Sheckies and the Slotcars. The CD is full of beach-inspired Pop Punk and Surfy, danceable ditties from both bands. Recorded at Joe Queer's Electric Cave with Jim Tierney the production is top shelf. Joe even lended a hand in the guitar department. Mastered by Johnny Love of Le Volume fame this album is a treat to the ears and required listening at any beach party.

The Sheckies deliver 5 extremely poppy and extremely catchy punk tunes in a Queers/Riverdales manner, and do it surprisingly well. Joe Queer pokes his head in the door and sings guest vocals on the opening track "K, We Love You". The 2nd track "I Need Xanax" is my favorite and delivers great poppy vocals and a good employment of the bubble gum pop punk style without losing it's balls. "Ashley Love" stands toe to toe with "Debra Jean", and puts even a young Rivers Cuomo to shame in the pop ballad department.
