A few cool releases are on the horizon for Sweet Cheetah Records October 31.

1) Spectres of Desire's Incursions EP. Darkwave, synth rock brought to you by Minnesota's Jonny C (also of The Slow Death). If you're a fan of Cold Cave, VNV Nation, Depeche Mode, AFI, you don't want to miss this. I should have cassettes in hand shortly for anyone that would like to have a physical copy.

2) Wagemaker's Twegen. Noise rock in the vein of The Melvins and Big Black from a Los Angeles duo who is certainly making their presence known. One half of the live duo is my good friend Jason LaVeris who some will remember from Blue Ash Solution, The Cinema Eye, and Lion Fever. The band is donating all proceeds from sales to The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights.

3) The Sweet Cheetah adjacent Steadfast Records compilation And The Angels Wouldn't Help You, which is a FREE/pay-what-you-want download. The essential sampler spotlights established forces and thrilling new discoveries across shoegaze, emo, hardcore, and alternative landscapes, featuring Liars Academy, Palm Ghosts, FVRMN, Cigarettes for Breakfast, Adiós Cometa, Skymender, Riot for Romance, Toilet Rats, The Funeral Arrangement, Ryan Shelkett (Cross My Heart), Chris Broach (Braid), Zao, The 1984 Draft, Cabeza de Agua, Focused, XREDLINEX, 2Minute Minor, and High Praise. Physical CDs will be available in November.

Also, stay tuned for the pre-release for the Will Romeo / The 1984 Draft split 7”. They’ve travelled back to the mid ‘90s for an amazing pair of covers.
