Coriky is an American alternative rock band from Washington D.C., formed in 2015, consisting of Ian MacKaye, Amy Farina, and Joe Lally, who were all experienced musicians with notable past collaborations including Minor Threat, Fugazi, and The Evens. Coriky's formation began when Farina and MacKaye, who had previously played together as The Evens, started creating music with Joe Lally. Their debut performance under the name Coriky took place in 2018. In early 2020, they released two singles, "Clean Kill" and "Too Many Husbands", via various free streaming services. Their self-titled debut album Coriky was initially scheduled for release on March 27, 2020, but due to the COVID-19 lockdown in the United States, was delayed until June 12, 2020. The band previewed their album at a free show in D.C.'s St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal Church on February 22, 2020.
