CKY have always thrived on defiance; born from skate-punk chaos and shaped by hard-earned
lessons, yet still driven by the same raw energy that put them on the map. What was once
reckless has become refined: The fire’s still there; it’s now just burning with purpose.

Guitarist and vocalist Chad I. Ginsburg fronts the band with confidence and conviction, while
co-founder and drummer Jess Margera anchors the sound with the power and precision that
have always defined CKY, with his recent solo release Thoughts & Prayers (a multi-artist
collaboration featuring members of Alice Cooper, Ween, Kyuss, Circa Survive, The Roots,
Opeth, Clutch, and Sum 41) underscoring his ever-evolving musicianship. The chemistry
between them remains undeniable — seasoned, focused, and still unmistakably CKY.

CKY’s impact on rock and alternative music is long-established, with a worldwide fanbase
known as the CKY Alliance and a reputation for high-energy live performances. Invited on tours
by acts such as Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, and Deftones, the band has consistently
demonstrated their versatility, endurance, and appeal. Armed with a new song and a new slate
of tour dates to close out 2025, the CKY experience endures. The band will be firing on all
pistons in 2026, with more to come.
