Pittsburgh's The Cheats have been cranking out high-octane punk'n'roll for over 20 years, and we're proud to welcome them to the Heavy Med family with the release of their long-awaited new album "Old Rats On A New Ship" (a co-release with their US label Screaming Crow Records).
Toss the Dead Boys and Motorhead into a blender with a pinch of the melodies and tunefulness of '77 punk, and you'll get a taste of the unrelenting rock'n'roll riot forged by these Steel City sleazoids.
"Old Rats On A New Ship" packs 10 catchy new originals and a cover of Anti-Nowhere League's "For You" into a fiery, 30-minute adrenaline assault. Coming out just in time to dominate your summer soundtrack, this is one of those albums that are so good that you'll have it on endless repeat.
This is cheap beer-soaked, chain-smoked, whiskey-choked, lost-hoped, van-broked, raw and unadulterated rock'n'roll, the way the good Lord intended it, and The Cheats are just doing His dirty work.
