INTERVIEW: Jess Margera talks CKY and their upcoming tour -

Interview by Cody-James Henderson

CKY hoists the flag high for big, raw, authentic, earth-shaking music liberated from useless pretence. They burned it all down, with a raucous, anarchic rock sound soaked in the skate-punk culture that birthed them; and a hard-partying lifestyle onstage and off that left decimated relationships and reputations in its wake. CKY’s music is a huge part of the infamous Jackass TV series as well as just about every skate and surf compilation of the era. CKY has toured the world with the likes of Metallica, Guns N’ Roses and Deftones; and have seen artists ranging from The Dead South to Polyphia and Dillon Francis cover their iconic songs.

We had Cody chat to drummer Jess Margera about all things CKY, how Jackass changed everything and their upcoming Australian tour with Alien Ant Farm.
