CHEAP TIME (In The Red Records)


Hailing from Tennessee, Cheap Time have been around in one incarnation or another since 2006. The nucleus of the band has always been Jeffrey Novak who writes and sings the songs, as well as playing guitar and keyboards (and who also has a healthy solo career on the side). The band began with Jemina Pearl and Nathan Vasquez from the band Be Your Own Pet rounding out the line up - theirs was a sound of a teen punk band with more attitude than musicianship, owing more than a little to early Redd Kross. By the time the band recorded their debut album, the lineup had changed completely and, in addition to improved musicianship, Novak brought in influences of 70’s glam and power pop bands likeSparks and The Quick. The band followed this up with more line up changes and a sophomore album, Fantastic Explanations (and Similar Situations), that was darker, moodier and more complex than it’s predecessor.


 


 Cheap Time has always been a quintessential sum of its parts, an equal part being the low-fi bombast that they employ to scuzz-up their otherwise lightweight brand of simplified 1970’s glam punk that’s delivered with an expected amount of adolescent snottery with a strong sense of sing-songy cohesion, mostly dissected into two minute blasts of sound. The third album, Wallpaper Music, received rave reviews and the band have been touring constantly for the past year, most recently with Social Distortion and the legendary Mudhoney, but will head out on their own this winter, touring the UK, Europe and the US/Canada.


 


The new album, 'Exit Smiles', is released November 19th through In The Red Records.  


 


"Hypnotic kraut-rock repetition and plentiful solo breaks....Cheap Time channel their frustration into quite convincing and ferocious explosions." Alternative Press


 


"Tennessee glam-snots (and Jay Reatard faves) outgrow their ilk, unload a thorny, at times mesmeric mess." Spin.com


 


"...a heavy dose of pure punk dirtiness." CMJ.com


 


"..effusive, infectious, and full of bratty swagger." The AV Club


 


"...a depth and resonance that most garage punk records can’t muster. You can listen to it a lot without burning it out, and in fact, it gets better the further you get from the surface."Dusted
