Okay, so maybe this record isn't the most original or groundbreaking thing I've heard recently. But who the fuck cares? What Cheeky lacks in originality, they make up (and then some) in pure attitude. Kate Eldridge's snotty vocals and bratty lyrics release what sounds like years worth of teenage angst and frustration. But to say that Eldridge is the only reason for the album's success is not entirely fair. The musicianship on the album is far better than I expected. Cheeky sounds as if they have been practicing in a deep, dark basement for years. While "Choke On A Cheeseburger" was great, What The Heck showcases the band as they finally explode and hit the ground running out of that basement. You can't help but jump and sing along. This album literally kicks my ass. Again and again.
