Ronnie Neuhauser's No Cheez Orchestra (a.k.a. the congregation against styrocultural brain damage) just isn't like other bands. The massive amount of sound textures and styles including hard and progressive rock, funk, jazzy elements, soul, reggae, spoken word, rock musical but without the corny broadway-isms, gospel with content replaced by scathing socio-political lyrics takes the listener on a journey which can only be experienced with NCO.
Music that makes you think but also hit's you right in the gut bucket. Wild compositions, blistering guitar, assaulting bass, Grooving and often aggressive drumming, soulful hard edged gritty vocals and a sneer that can scare you. Are you ready for the roller coaster ride?

Review: New Haven Advocate
January 11, 2007
No Cheez Orchestra , War and Pom Poms (nocheez.com). A progressive, jazz-rockpalooza of heavy social commentary and amazing musicianship, conducted by guitarist Ronnie Neuhauser and infused by his own mind-altering guitar work and lyrical venom. Performance skits tell a tale interspersed with sonic orchestrations that don’t bog down. Both insightful and humorous, and doesn’t get pompous or masturbatory. Best lyrics: “The guy with the biggest pile wins? A steamy pile is all you is.”
