ABOUT THIS BAND

Shirts and vinyl: houseshoes.online   Cheekface is an indie rock trio, more precisely a talk-singing band, from Los Angeles, Calif.   The story starts in 2017. Things were getting pretty crappy on Earth. Indie band lifers Greg and Mandy got together to write out the anxiety, despair and the bleak humor of it all. They sent the demos to Echo and, voila, a band.   It wasn't a project that started with much ambition: the idea was to drop a record on Bandcamp, play a show for friends, and call it a day. But in 2018, the band's second single "Dry Heat/Nice Town," a playful pub rock tune about leftist protest culture, started to snowball online, and before long a word-of-mouth cult started to form. That effect only intensified with Cheekface's community-minded singalong shows where the entire audience was invited to join the band onstage. Fans dubbed themselves "Cheek Freaks."   The band chased their 2019 debut LP "Therapy Island" with 2021 full-length "Emphatically No." It bowed as Bandcamp's top-selling alternative album, Paste crowed that it was an "essential listen," and the record's sticky singles "Listen To Your Heart. No." and "Best Life" lodged themselves firmly in college radio rotation. In Rolling Stone Magazine, one writer remarked, "If not for Cheekface, I’m not sure I would have been able to enjoy anything at all this year." Seriously.
