Taken from Extended Plays – Having just released their debut full-length this year on Wichita Recordings, London-based Cheatahs is the newest band on this list. They’re from the heavier, more athletic Swervedriver school of shoegaze (as opposed to the dreamy pop of Lush or swirling soundscapes of MBV) but don’t flirt too much with the alt-rock that would eventually do in their forebearers by 99th Dream. They’ve got a brand-new EP entitled Sunne coming out in February, and it looks to continue the aggressive, noisy, ethereal sounds they’ve been perfecting on tour across Europe and the States all year.
