Mailbag! Switchblade Cheetah's here to rip your face off.



The Mail Lady came bearing gifts last week...  Brian; vocalist of Switchblade Cheetah, sent in these two fine albums for me to post up. 



Hey Bro!

Brian from Switchblade Cheetah here! 
Here are two albums for your blog!

 
Switchblade Cheetah are from Tallahassee, Florida.  Formed in 2004, members include Brian Pitt vocals/drums, and Gregory Lee on vocals/all guitars.  They had a drummer but decided to kick him out and have been going strong as a two-piece for the last 3 years.  Switchblade Cheetah has played with bands such as The Circle Jerks, H.R. of Bad Brains, and Bomber.  Some of their influences include: GG Allin, Roky Erikson, Samhain, The Germs, and Domestic Dispute.  The purpose of Switchblade Cheetah is "To bring the best Gutter trash piss scum music" to the masses.  

  



 2007 - The Bone Gospel  (320kbps)


"The Bone Gospel" is our singles collection from 2007 which is more straight forward Punk Devil Thrash. 



Track Listing:

1.  Guns.Money.Bullets.Skulls
2.  Vigilante Justice
3.  Nightmoves
4.  Skull Helmet
5.  Spit It Out
6.  Downward Glowing Hoof Speak
7.  Ambush
8.  Hotel Hell Feast
9.  Goatbook
10. Renegade
11. Hellbones
12. Titanic Seeds
13. Feral Children
14. White Freightliner
15. Wolfbite
16. Adoring Seryans Dressed In Furs
17. Light Bearer
18. Father Wolf

20. Wolf Christ Den
21. Spit It Out
22. Skull Helmet

26. Skull Helmet
27. I, They, We Let's Scare Tracy to Death
28. Bone Farmer
29. Wolfspeak

Damn!

These guys are great.  What I really love is the raw, straight forward approach that many bands fail to utilize.  Most of these songs stuck with me for a few days after listening to the album a couple of times, which is always a good thing.  After hearing this I'd definitely be down to hear the rest of their stuff.  










2009 - Trash Suckin' High Heeled Scum (320kbps)
 
 The second disc, "Thrash Suckin' High Heeled Scum" is our newest album and I feel that it is our definitive collection and sound.   It is more garage punk psychedelia occult scum.  


Track Listing:

1.  No Hope (Takin' that Risk)
2.  Bag of Bones
3.  Bonedog
4.  Gladiator Goat Wolf
5.  The Cup
6.  Slaughter High
7.  Hair of The Goat
8.  Out For Blood
9.  Do The Snuff Creek Shuffle
10. That's Off
11. Get Back A-Go-Go
12. I Touched the Beast
13. Bonelust
14. Holy Holy
15. Do The Cheetah Stomp
16. John Lawman
17. Beyond the Darkness
18. Ol' Bag Of Bones


All I can say is that you'd better be ready to Do the Snuff Creek Shuffle.  This album is a little different than the other, but I still like it.  Mainly because of the raw approach once again.  These guys are definitely having fun and writing some grimey stuff.  Overall I really enjoyed this, I Touched the Beast was one that stuck out as well as Hair of the Goat and Gladiator Goat Wolf.  Just take my word and check this shit out.



Switchblade Cheetah were also featured on the soundtrack for New Orleans' Terror Optics Studio's short film "Creepy Dean" which can be seen HERE  They are currently in the process of recording a new EP,  so be on the lookout for that, I'm sure Brian will keep us posted.

Really good Garage Punk from San Francisco, Ca. featuring former members of Supercharger and Mr. T Experience. Look at them on the cover, that's how they played live, dressed in all black with nylons over their heads and energy you wouldn't believe! I'm not really fully into Garage Punk but bands such as The Rip Offs, Supercharger, Teengenerate and Loli & the Chones really get my attention. This is a really fun listen that rocks by pretty fast, just keep hitting the play button!


123..Go!

Caustic Christ - Can't Relate (2003)


Swampchode got me on a Pallbearer's kick and somehow it made me run across this band again which I haven't heard in years. Crazy, crusty punk recommended to anybody that's looking to catch a case of whiplash...


"You should know the drill by now, expect lots of fast hardcore/punk (but not too fast) with shouted vocals and fucking slick bass runs that fly all over the place rather than copying the guitars. Most of the songs hover right around a minute each and they just shred straight through without fucking around. These cats were never particularly sloppy, but I must say that the new tracks are tighter than ever, so the performances are really fucking dead on. There's definitely more of an emphasis on the punk influences this time out, it's still thick, but it's not what I would classify as necessarily heavy, and the slightly chaotic aspects have become more controlled and refined, which really fits the delivery a lot better. "Frat Boy", for example, has a slightly "catchier" structure with some gang backup vocals and such, but there are still a few tracks with that driving sort of heavier crust thing happening, namely "Immaculate Deception". Then they close the LP with a great cover of Flipper's "Ha, Ha, Ha". I love the recording. It's thick and natural with a suitable mix that gives everything its own space. It's certainly not polished, but it's not overly raw or anything like that at all. It's a lot clearer and more well rounded than the EP's, that's for sure. The layout is all in black and white with a little bit of green, and the artwork is incredible. There are tons of awesome illustrations, and I love the way the booklet is set up. All of the covers from the 7" releases are included, and the lyrics are presented straight off of the EP layouts as well, which works out great. Most of the lyrics are personal and just deal with base level frustrations and stuff, but then out of nowhere there's a scathing political attack like "Satisfied Means Pacified": "The vote is nothing more than a scam, Like war, taxes, and justice and the freedom of your 'fellow man', So wave the flag and praise the lord, Demand your given voice, Pull the lever, drop the ballot, and believe that you've made a choice." Good stuff. The new songs are the band's best yet in my opinion, so definitely pick this up if you enjoyed any of the previous 7" releases. (7/10)" ~ Aversiononline.com
