The Cheek (formerly known as Cheeky Cheeky and the Nosebleeds) are an indie pop band from Woodbridge, Suffolk. Having released several singles and an EP, they released their debut album "Lover's Quarrel in 2014.
Since their formation, the band have released several singles. Their debut "Slow Kids", released on 17 March 2008, received a positive reception, catching the attention of Huw Stephens, NME and Q magazine. Following the success of Slow Kids, the band went on to release their latest single, "You Let Me Go", which was granted track of the week in NME, receiving 8/10 from Dan Martin.
2009 proved a promising start for the band as they played shows in Japan and at SXSW in Texas. 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"."
I've tried and tried to run and hide
To find a life that's new
But wherever I go I always know
I can't escape from you
A jug of wine to numb my mind
But what good does it do?
The jug runs dry and still I cry
I can't escape from you
These wasted years are souvenirs
Of love I thought was true
Your memory is chained to me
I can't escape from you
There is no end, I can't pretend
That dreams will soon come true
A slave too long to a heart of stone
I can't escape from you
