Who The Hell Are Chekira and Why Should I Care?

Chekira is an exciting new pop rock punk outfit from Peterborough. The young four piece consists of 17 year olds, Andy Jackson (guitar/vocals), Rob Baynton (guitar), bassist Scott McEwan and drummer Simon Hodgson.

  “Chekira was formed in Spring ’99. Having played every pub and club locally, the band widened their horizons, most recently laying waste to the Leicester Charlotte. An intense and confident live act, Chekira have worked hard to establish themselves.”

  “Their recent debut CD, entitled “The No.1 Best-Sellouts”, already boasts impressive sales having received airplay on commercial radio. With each tune very different from the next, it’s no wonder that Chekira create such a diverse and emphatic sound. Toying with mighty guitars, killer melodies and harmonies all round, the band unleash three tracks of considerable style and maturity.”

  “Chekira convey a genuine ability, both live and on tape, to mix the childish effervescence of bands such as NOFX, Bracket and Wildhearts – adding their own youthful spin and reviving the genre in a new classy and exciting form!”
