Knee jerk nerd funk

"The only reason I put four stars instead of five it's because maybe I will get the reader's attention. This band is infecting, as well as very very hard to pin point. However, I can't believe no one has picked up on the Talking Heads trip, circa Fear of Music. The interplay between the guitars and the rhythm section is convoluted, like a more urgent take on Fela and Afrobeat, but also tipping their hats to early eighties bands like James White and the Blacks, may be a little bit of Liquid Liquid. I only hope more of their music could be easier to find, because, honestly, you won't stop playing it, once you catch yourself in the middle of one of their breathtaking funk jams. If anyone, ANYONE has any contact with these guys, please tell them to make their music a little bit more available to listeners from OUTSIDE the U.S. Thank you."

I love it

"supposedly on the tip of a "dancepunk" revolution with liars and the rapture.(pitchfork) I haven't heard to much of this type of music in the punk scene and i got to admit this 24 minute cd is sweet. Chk Chk Chk is an eight-piece band that has to be heard live to truly appreciate how good they really are. The funk-punk mixture could finally bring punk music around the corner. I really hope other bands will try to emulate this type of sound. Chk Chk Chk definitely has the right idea and just a matter of time they become the next big thing in Indie Rock."
