Cheekface - "It's Sorted" | Album Review
It's Sorted is the fourth full length from LA’s Cheekface, another building block of their unique approach to sing-speak vocals and melodies that refuse to leave your head. Greg Katz and Amanda Tannen have mastered writing ear-worms, continuing to charm and surprise audiences with songs that poke and prod at the world around them.

Cheekface - "Don't Ask (B-Sides)" | Album Review
Too Much To Ask, which packed with the trademarked “talk-singing” of the band, as well as incredibly danceable beats and fun instrumental breakdowns, turned out to have a few b-sides that didn’t make the cut of the final album. Don’t Ask (b-sides) is just the extra dose of Cheekface fun that any indie rock, power-pop punk fan will enjoy.

Cheekface - "Emphatically Mo' (B-sides)" | Album Review
The four songs come from the Emphatically No writing sessions, culled when the band wanted to create a good flow for the full-length. There might not be anything as mesmerizing as ‘“Listen to Your Heart.” “No.”’ but that’s not to say there’s no charm to be found in the B-sides; charm is something that comes to Cheekface effortlessly.
