Roadrunner has announced the worldwide signing of Pennsylvania rockers CKY. Previously the band released albums through indie label Volcom and subsequently Island Def Jam.
Roadrunner A&R man Monte Conner told CMU: "CKY is a massively underrated band. Everything about them screams unique, from Deron Miller's dark, melodic vocals and iconoclastic songwriting, to Chad I Ginsburg's cutting-edge production and mix techniques, to their one-of-a-kind guitar sound and rampant use of the Moog synthesizer. They simply sound like no other band I have ever heard. I've known Deron since he was a teenager and have been dying to work with CKY ever since I heard the stunning Infiltrate-Destroy-Rebuild album. I am honoured to finally have the opportunity to do so, with such a forward-thinking band."
Frontman Deron Miller says: "Roadrunner is one of my all-time favorite labels, so for me this partnership is very inspiring on a personal level and the fans will hear that on our next record."
Drummer Jess Margera adds: "It's seriously an honour to be working with such a legendary rock & metal label like Roadrunner. CKY has had a great relationship with Roadrunner over the years and our signing with them seems long overdue."
