AK-Charlie have enough melodic harmony's and play fast enough to be considered punk rock. They also have as many sweeping solo's and shredding riff's to make you wonder if they're a bit metal. The truth is they are somewhere in between and are content with the genre plain and simple, "rock". Influenced heavily by guitar god's such as Kerry King, Slash and Dimebag Darrell. Inspired by the up beat, raw energy of punk bands like A.F.I., NoFx, Strung out, and The Misfits to name a few. These elements combined are what help define AK's sound and musical direction.
AK have played on the 2006 Vans Warped Tour, shared the stage with Total Chaos, Seemless, Iscariot, Left Alone, 8 fingers Down, The Koffin Kats etc...
The band hail from the bustling metropolis of Ogden, Utah. Home to all four members, where they attended the same high school and each had bands of their own. AK-Charlie was formed in 2002 by front man/vocalist Curt Tuck aka "Grizz", guitarist B.J. Parker, bassist James Burton, and drummer Robert Dean. AK have tore up the Ogden scene playing literally every bar, strip club, street festival, skate competition, NPO benefit, and house party possible.
Their self titled album was released in January 2006. It was recorded and mastered a few months earlier at Salt Lake's own Boho Digitalia. CD available at http://cdbaby.com/cd/akcharlie.
AK are currently in the studio finishing up their soon to be 2nd release, "sweeping the Ruins"
