CKY (short for “Camp Kill Yourself”) is a 4-piece rock band consisting of Deron Miller (vocals, guitar, bass), Chad I Ginsburg (guitar, vocals, bass), Jess Margera (drums), and Matty Janaitis (bass). Deron and Chad both played bass on all 4 of their albums, but Matty will take over when they record their next album, and he has now taken over for their live shows. They share their name with a series of skate videos produced by Bam Margera, who is the brother of the drummer.
CKY’s music has been featured in the four CKY videos and Jackass, and the track 96 Quite Bitter Beings from their album Volume 1 also featured on the video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3. The songs Sporadic Movement from the album Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild and The Human Drive in Hi-Fi from Volume 1 were in the video game Backyard Wrestling: Don’t Try This At Home. They were also featured in several movie soundtracks such as Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
It is very hard to categorize CKY into a specific genre. Their songs vary from soft slow ballads such asSara’s Mask and Close Yet Far to heavier songs such as Sniped. The basis of their songs is slowed down metal guitar parts with thick rock groove added and tweaked production laced with dense melody, which puts them in the loose genre of rock.
Formation and Early Career
In 1994, in West Chester, PA, friends Deron Miller and Jess Margera formed a band under the name Foreign Objects. In 1995 they released a 5-track EP on Distant Recordings called The Undiscovered Numbers & Colors, which was described by some as “Earth Crisis meets Rush.

@iKorath, sorry it doesn't fit your idea of music, for example skrillex, wooshes swooshes and all computerized crap. No actual skill, I've heard his stage presence sucks dick too, it's just a guy on stage with a laptop. I guarantee you Skrillex will be gone and forgotten about in 3 years, along with dubstep.
