CKY, standing for Camp Kill Yourself a band that cannot be catorgorized, if you would have to put them down somewhere you could say rock, but rock being a very loose description of what they are as they are unlike anything else but they do pull together the greatness of hot guitar riffs but in a new totally unique wayThey hail from West Chester, Philidelphia in America, coming to life in 1998 made up of lead vocal/guitarist Deron Miller, guitarist Chad Ginsburg, drummer Jess Margera and bassist Ryan Bruni.The first label that CKY signed to was TM International under the name Camp Kill Yourself. They had their first release Volume 1 in 1999. Soon after CKY left TM Int and joined the Volcom Entertainment label, then re-releasing Volume 1 in late 1999.
