Waiting For The Dead Of My Generation. LP/CD 221 |
| The
record features the band's patented mix of driving Detroit-style hard
rock and power pop. Yes, known for being equally adept at ear-catching
power pop songs and speaker-wrecking high-energy hard punk rock. Producer
Brian Kehew (Muffs, Dickies, Air, Mother Superior) adds the necessary
production value to make it sparkle just enough. The dual guitar firepower
for which the Cheetahs are known is augmented by a sitar (!)
on "No More", and a full horn section on The Saints´ cover "Know Your
Product" and the garage/reggae mindbender "Dirty Mockingbird". |
| Former
Bell-Rays guitarist and songwritter Tony Fate contributes "Mamma
Train" especially for this album, and sits in on guitar too. "Automatic"
and "In My Head" seem like obvious choices for airplay, while "Right
to Rock" and "Why You Gotta Come First" remind us that it is more-or-less
impossible to out-rock the Street Walkin´ Cheetahs! |

Guitars,
Guns, and Gold. LP/CD (MR 220 / MRCD 220) |
| No
doubt, one of the best rock bands coming from LA in the last 5 years!
This Los Angeles based Detroit style four piece plays a searing combination
of old school American Punk-Rock and modern High Energy. This "new"
SWC record is made out of early gems, rarities, and live cuts, packed
with all the energy and power of ass kicking rock&roll that the Cheetahs
know how to deliver. It´s a wild and impassioned collection of rare
recordings where The Streetwalkin´ Cheetahs´ high voltage glam punk
reminds of the best Dead Boys, MC5 and New York Dolls. With Special
guests Wayne Kramer, Bell-Rays, etc. |
