Jeffrey Novak of Henderson, Tennessee, is a name familiar to those who pay attention to the whole lo-fi-garage-punk underbelly of today's indie scene. He has released a handful of singles and at least one album on labels in the US and Europe as a one-man-band and with his former group, the Rat Traps. He has been at it for nearly five years and he's barely in his twenties. Cheap Time is his newest and most serious endeavor to date in 2008. Founded with Jemina Pearl and Nathan Vasquez of Be Your Own Pet, Cheap Time set out to recapture the essence of teenage schlock rock scuzz of such heroes as Redd Kross and the Runaways. Along the way, members shifted, as did the band's direction.
