Cheeseburger

Cheeseburger sounds like the best night you can barely remember at a dive bar that probably failed its health inspection. It is pure, unadulterated rock and roll energy, stripped of any pretension and replaced with a gritty, high-octane swagger. The guitars are loud and distorted, the drums are relentless, and the vocals sound like they were recorded after a pack of cigarettes and a few shots of cheap whiskey.

What makes them distinctive is the intersection of their Brooklyn garage rock roots and their proximity to the chaotic world of Adult Swim animation. There is a sense of manic, cartoonish violence in their sound that feels both dangerous and hilarious. They capture the spirit of 70s hard rock and 90s garage punk, but deliver it with a modern, cynical wink that keeps it from feeling like a retro act.

Start with 'Comin' Home' to hear the anthem that defined their career, then dive into the full-length 'Another Big Night Down The Drain' for a masterclass in modern sleaze rock. It is the perfect soundtrack for anyone who thinks rock music has become too polite.
