Anyone else into Cheatahs? Just discovered them and I'm hooked


I was digging through some shoegaze playlists and stumbled across a band called Cheatahs. I can't believe I've never heard of them before. Their sound is this perfect mix of fuzzy guitars, layered vocals, and that nostalgic 90s feel. Anyone else into them? I'm trying to figure out where to start with their discography.

They're definitely worth the time. The band formed in London and their sound is a solid blend of shoegaze, punk, and alternative rock, with clear nods to My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth. I'd actually recommend starting with their second album "Mythologies" from 2015 it's more diverse and shows their range better than the debut. After that, go back to their self-titled 2014 album to see where it all started. The EPs are where the real deep cuts are. "Coared" is raw and gritty, "Sans" is more polished, "Sunne" gets dreamier, and "Murasaki" has this hypnotic quality inspired by Japanese culture. The band members come from the US, UK, Canada, and Germany, which gives their sound an interesting mix of influences. You can find all their releases, lineup info, and more at https://cheatahs.net/. I'd suggest starting with "Mythologies" and working your way through the EPs from there.

That's really helpful. I was going to start with the debut, but starting with "Mythologies" makes sense if it's more varied. I'll check out the site and give that one a listen first. Thanks for the detailed roadmap. Appreciate it.
