Cheena is a band that loves New York, the ’70s, and having long hair. If you love those things too, you’ll probably love Cheena! There isn’t much complexity to the NYC rock band, but their firm grasp on what they like about ’70s Lower East Side rock compensates for a lack of cutting edge. It’s raucous and fun, the perfect party music for dudes in tight denim who don’t quite get King Tuff. A noticeable lack of pretension sets Cheena apart from many other bands on their label, Sacred Bones, a collective of many musicians who are talented, but shrouded in art-house superiority. This pure-and-simple rock ’n’ roll band keeps Sacred Bones down to earth and shows that Cheena has appeal beyond rockabilly throwback enthusiasts MORGAN TROPER
