Album review: Cheatahs – Mythologies

Cheatahs’ music is often compared to 90s rock and shoegaze: if you like those genres you’ll probably like this.

Promoting the release of their debut self-titled album, the Falmouth four-piece are at the top of their game, and revelling in every moment.

On the second day of All Years Leaving, local music lovers are gathered in droves to dance, smile and transform hangovers into drunkenness.

A mosh pit forms at the front and the night becomes a frenzy of shouting and limbs in motion during the likes of ‘Graveweller’ and ‘Digsaw’.

Moseley’s One Trick Pony Club tonight plays host to sleazy blues-rock riffs, clattering punk and a couple of confused-looking blokes.

With great bands and a valuable cause, The Sunflower Lounge was flooded with goodwill.

Bad Girlfriend’s debut EP is DIY, chaotic and somewhat abrasive. And we fucking love it.

Baltimore’s Sun Club live up to the jollity of their name on their debut album, The Dongo Durango.

Birmingham favourites Swim Deep were joined by The Magic Gang and Catholic Action at their latest homecoming shindig.

Tonight, Circa Waves managed to stamp their mark on Birmingham, a memory that hopefully will be echoed back to them.
