potential reunion indicated

In January 2014, Miller and Ginsburg shared a number of new photos of them together with guitars, indicating a potential reunion for the band. Miller expanded on the news on his Facebook page, revealing that he had reached out to “almost all former members” of the band but was unsure as to who would return, and that he and Ginsburg were working on at least eight songs together. Another update was issued in March, with Miller revealing that he and Ginsburg had “collaborated on a very mellow, melancholy song idea” recently, and that he wanted the new CKY album to serve as the soundtrack to a planned documentary about the band. Miller confirmed on February 12, 2015, that the reconciliation hadn’t worked out, claiming that working with Ginsburg was “so irritating and so stressful [he] had no choice but to cut the chord”. That same day, it was announced that CKY would be performing at Canadian festival Amnesia Rockfest in June. Miller claimed that he knew nothing about the show and Ginsburg asserted that his focus was on his upcoming solo album , although it was confirmed by Bam Margera that Jess would be involved in the show. The band played the festival with Davies returning as frontman. However, Miller also used the CKY moniker (as “CKY + Foreign Objects”) for a number of shows booked in 2015 with guitarist Kenneth Hunter, bassist Shaun Luera and drummer Tim Luera. In an interview with The Sinner’s Ball radio show in August 2015, Miller described his former bandmates as “pathetic sons of bitches” and condemned Davies’ performances in the band as “embarrassing”. In a later interview in October, Miller claimed that he would be re-recording and re-releasing An Answer Can Be Found , as well as a new album, under the name MechaCKY (later renamed 96 Bitter Beings ).
