Two pairs of questions are likely to be in your mind right now.
1) a) Cheese? b) What is this nonsense?
2) a) Cheese? b) How can I stop this nonsense?
Answers:
1) a) Yes. b) Cheese are the latest concept - of all concepts. We all know that a lot of people in the mainstream music industry exist largely on their lack of talent and PR rather than their talent. The response for talented musicians is obvious. But what about those without talent who are annoyed but powerless to respond through song? The answer is Cheese - a victory over both substance and style by something else of uncertain provenance.
2) a) Yes! b) You can't.

Cheese reveal very little about Libertines split
Shit-rockers don't really know what happened there
In an exclusive interview with the NME, Cheese lyricist Ken Cheng and guitarist Matt Smith lacked any insight into the demise of the Libertines.
"I don't know," Cheng told us, "maybe you could ask someone more related and write another lead article about it." Carl Barat of Dirty Pretty Things was busy having lunch, so we decided to continue interviewing Cheese frontmen instead.
Reviewers generally shat on your last three albums. How do you respond to such criticism, guys?
Matt: Well, i loved the second two. We all all know that the Sink Sessions was an under produced album and had a rushed release. But you know theres some great melodies on there, i especially like the flea ate the carrot as it was one of the first songs i wrote.
Ken: I generally shat on their last three reviews.
So Ken, where does your inspiration come from? Whats your muse?
Ken: I'm inspired by the sounds I hear and the foods I eat. As far as other music goes, you can definitely hear the influence of public enemy on tracks such as "shape up". We were worried that track was going to be too hardcore, but I think in the end it works.
Where did you guys meet?
Matt: We went to school together. Ken was the clever guy in my form and I was the knobheadish one.
Ken: I found the other members of cheese on the street, begging passing cats for scraps. I saw their potential immediately, and took them into my hospice where they were cared for by voluntary nurses. After three years of rehabilitation, they were ready to make music.
So Matt, does it irritate you when Ken referes to your guitar experiementation as 'painful white noise' in interviews and album sleeves?
Matt: Yes it does. You see, it wont be such a problem in the future because Ken has started to get involved in the technological side of the music, and will be doing so more and more in live shows of the new material. So now he is kind of beginning to understand it.
Ken: Yes, I'm a tool.
