The View’s Cheeky for a Reason Gets a Limited Edition Vinyl Reissue
The View’s fourth studio album Cheeky for a Reason is set to make a triumphant return with a special limited-edition reissue, now available on black and clear smokey vinyl. Originally released in 2012, this album captured the hearts of fans and critics alike with its infectious blend of indie rock energy and introspective song writing. Often described by the band as “Fleetwood Mac's Rumours done by The Clash,” Cheeky for a Reason was a bold statement that combined playful hooks with mature, reflective lyrics.
Hailing from Dundee, The View had already made their mark on the UK music scene, and Cheeky for a Reason only solidified their status. The album debuted at #9 on the UK Albums Chart and soared to #1 on the UK Indie Chart, proving the band’s ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. With tracks like the fan-favourite “How Long” and the introspective “The Clock,” the album balances fun, upbeat anthems with heartfelt, thought-provoking moments.
Critics were quick to praise Cheeky for a Reason. NME highlighted the album’s “unapologetic, feel-good vibe,” while The Guardian lauded its “upbeat and infectious nature,” making it the perfect soundtrack for summer. Songs like “Hold On Now” and “Anfield Row” brim with the energy of The View's youthful spirit, while the stunning “Tacky Tattoo” showcases lead vocalist Kyle Falconer’s soulful voice in a way rarely heard before, adding depth to the album’s overall feel.
In its initial release, Cheeky for a Reason sold over 50,000 copies in the UK, and the band’s reputation for wild live performances has kept the demand for this album alive. This limited-edition reissue offers both long-time fans and new listeners the chance to experience Cheeky for a Reason on vinyl in a unique smokey design that perfectly complements the raw yet polished sound of the record.
