Lansing, Michigan trio
Cheap Girls' high-energy, nostalgic pop-meets-punk sound lands somewhere between
the Replacements and
Superchunk. Comprised of singer/bassist/acoustic guitarist Ian Graham, his drummer/percussionist brother Ben Graham and guitarist Adam Aymor, the band formed in 2007 with the objective of playing back-to-basics rock. Their first album, the self-released
Find Me a Drink Home, arrived the following year. A busy touring schedule followed, making way for sophomore record My Roaring 20s, released on Paper + Plastick, which also reissued
Find Me a Drink Home. In 2010,
Cheap Girls played with
Against Me! for the first time, a meeting which grew into a U.S. tour together the following year, and securing
Tom Gabel to produce their next record at his new studio. The result was
Giant Orange, a collection of road-tested songs showcasing the band's giant hooks and cohesiveness, which arrived on Rise in February 2012. ~ Chrysta Cherrie
