Having released several singles and an EP, they released their debut album "''Lover's Quarrel'' in 2014. ==Band history== Since their formation, the band have released several singles.

It was during their NME Awards Show on 17 February that the band announced their name change to The Cheek stating, "It takes about two seconds to say 'Cheeky Cheeky And The Nosebleeds', and we say our band name sometimes 20 times a day. That's like four-and-a-half minutes every week. More than four hours a year. We're getting an extra three hours a year back just by becoming "The Cheek"."〔http://www.nme.com/news/cheeky-cheeky-and-the-nosebleeds/42841〕 They went onto release a limited Japanese EP on 24 February, "Thespionage" which featured a series of previous unreleased tracks the band recorded during various sessions as CCATNB. During 2008, Cheeky Cheeky and the Nosebleeds had a busy festival season, playing at Latitude, Glastonbury〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2008/artists/cheekycheekyandthenosebleeds〕 and Underage Festival. Their headline set at Latitude's Lake Stage saw a record number of crowd surfers and drew one of the largest crowds for the stage. Following their popularity at London's Underage festival, the band were approached again to do an Underage Christmas Special at London Scala on 20 December. More recently they embarked on their debut headlining tour, covering 29 dates in 31 days including a special Halloween show at the borderline and in December supported Iglu and Hartley on their UK Tour. Following a series of popular live performances, CCATNB caught the attention of some established record labels, which soon let to them signing a deal. They signed with A&M Records who eagerly sent them away to record their 1st album in Brussels, Belgium. During the recording of their CCATNB songs a change in musical direction began. This happening led to the change in name to 'The Cheek' and along with it a host of new songs. After the mixing and mastering process the album was complete and ready for print, however, A&M pulled the plug on everything and the band we're dropped in 2010. After much delay, their debut album ''Lover's Quarrel'' was released in 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Cheek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
