Ryan Torchia Cheatahs are absurdly great shoegaze, and it's absolutely criminal that they only had two albums and a handful of EPs. Hopefully the reunion bug will bite. Favorite track: Geographic.

Nicholas Kent INCREDIBLE record - one of my absolute favorites of the last ~decade. This album should be much, MUCH better known throughout the world. Favorite track: Mission Creep.

theMichaelFrank It doesn’t veer too shoegaze, too punk, too noise, too melodic … though if you like all those genres = these dudes found an awesome mix after throwing it all in a blender. It reminds me of the best things I liked in the 90s alt-rock scenes. Favorite track: Northern Exposure.

Ashton Richards I love this album and miss this band. Favorite track: Leave To Remain.

about

Cheatahs’ long-awaited debut album is first and foremost an exploration of the possibilities of modern guitar music. A blend of ecstatic noise, ambient drone and visceral, ear-splitting alt-rock, combined with lyrics that touch on the complexities of relationships, nature, the city, memory,dislocation and self-identity, the self-titled record displays a giant creative leap from the lo-fi fuzz of the band’s first two EPs.

"yearning melodies over driving rhythms, all swaddled in comforting layers of fuzz." UNCUT

"'Cheatahs' is a gleaming pop wrecking ball taken to the sonic cathedral." NME

"Cheatahs revere FX-pedal-bashing titans, but an uber melodious debut validates the London quartet's kinship." Mojo ****
