Fast

According to Jim Cordes, the lead singer and songwriter for the band, We play fast, exciting rock songs that we think folks are going to enjoy. With a live set filled with energetic, uptempo numbers, Black Checker is a group that prides itself on it's ability to assemble accessible tunes that feature brisk, rowdy arrangements. The band cites influences such as Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, The Replacements, and Green Day as informing their brand of fast-paced, yet tuneful pop-punk. PRESS EXCERPTS: 'These guys bring more power pop to a punk sound and it's a successful, balanced marriage between the two styles... The guitar sounds great, the vocals quite good, and the rhythm section has a fun careening feel to it.' - David Hintz, DC Rock Live, 7/2/12.
