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.
