Amp It Up To...Cheatahs.

For the past two weeks I've been on the lookout for some sort of material that would ignite the dying embers of February. I needed something to ridden the rain soaked surroundings in order to play something truly heart-wrenching whilst the heavens have been pouring around the south of England recently. To keep me locked against my stereo, as the only craving I would have for staying indoors was to discover these guys or some sound wave that just leaps out of you to suggest-now you can headbang. Know the Feeling?

Anyway Cheatahs. How? Well in all honesty I found them through another writer to a website which I've just gracefully gained a place at, none other than Earbuddy.net as a reviewer- cue the confetti. A sturdy 7.9/10 acclaim on their new album self titled 'Cheatahs'. But it's not the first listening that's been produced from the Londoners. Take 'Fall' , released about 11 months back. It introduces with a scale of harmonic guitar, somewhat being an inductively anthemic start to my discovery, it follows through with windy bends of fantastical vocals before whirring back to the original intro. You may suspect from the vocals, that Cheatahs are actually American, it sounds indefinably diverse from any other sign coming within the lines of suburbia. With that one track mastered I thought fair and square, next record please.



'The Swan' moves in a completely different direction of full thrash and solo's suggestive of coming from a mass Rock of Ages opening . It's a brilliant repeat of dirtier riffs, somewhat contrasting 'Fall' but never the less you can pick up on every decibel of drums, pronouncing the record in to a constant collaborative climax. So what? Are Cheetahs pretty much dirty grime rock? A take on 'Get Tight' may destine so, imagine it like a less neater Dinosaur Pile Up; with a distorted deluge puked onto a vitalizing vomit. It's darker too, echoing around a moody whine but twangs back to the heavier, righteously rammed outro. However 'Cut The Grass' has the airier feeling alike 'Fall's even though not exactly similar, you could picture a monstrous lawn mower raging through the grass to pick up on the title but the same old recognizable cosmic voice echoes and infinitive energy Cheatahs seem to live up to on each record is probably a better vibe to lead on. Now, the last one I can actually find before having to purchase the album ( which unmistakably I will) on soundcloud is 'Kenworth Single'. It powers through strong, yucky fuzzes which literally have the raw factor to send a ravaging rocker into a sweat oozing, riff roaching mosh pit. It's a rare capability to find a band who really sound as if they're in a garage, the effect on this track is like your'e the one sort of perching next to the amp and is too squashed to stand anywhere else, not a bad thing in this case. They go into a quieter section of low-fi solo's and blistered drums with the sense of a post ecstasy awakening to lead into the twing twang finish. 

Inevitably, I can't wait to get a new dosage of what Cheatahs palpitate on their new album, perhaps I should have saved this post for a full scale review but to be honest, I really had to get this of my chest (without sounding over passionate).These singles alone evidently prove Cheatahs defining immensity.
 As the year progresses I actually finding more and more bands outside the barriers of what many individuals classify to stick to their "Sound of 2014 List" . These past few months have been way to unpredictable which is in many ways-better. Whatever I come across one week seems to leap out on the next. Take this music and plug in on a sunset shining, atmospheric outgoing road trip. Although in my tiny room-it sounds awesome.
