We all love bands that aren't easily defined or classified. West Chester, Pennsylvania's CKY has been called grunge, stoner rock, 90's rock, even skate punk. All of those labels are accurate, more or less. But the band is a little more sophisticated than that with a dynamite dynamic display. There's also some "Jackass" blood — Bam Margera's brother, Jess Margera is the band's drummer — to keep the impish fun wound up to 10. You just need to be in love with loud and fast and in your face.
CKY plays with Slaves, Royal Thunder, and Awaken I Am on Tuesday, July 31, at Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut Street. 6 p.m. $22-$25. themontagemusichall.com; facebook.com/ckyalliance.
