CHEEM

“Where most young rock bands are happily constrained by the self imposed limitations of a ‘dead’ rock music scene, Cheem dreams of the arena. The pop music arena, specifically. Cheem’s music packs a punch, with finely tuned snares puncturing holes in sheets of crispy distorted guitars, while easily holding its own melodically through a sly humor redolent of peak-mid 2000s emo. Cheem fights for the future of rock by remembering it used to exist as a chart heavyweight in its own regard; their music swings for the senses and consistently connects. Led by Sam Nazaretian’s clarion tenor, grounded by Skye Holden’s deceptively complex rapping, and backed by a band that that can alternate between Limp Bizkit levels of blunt force impact and Pinback-esque subtle complexity; Cheem is the future of accessible heavy music. ” - Holiday Kirk
