THE CHEETAHS - Radio-Active EP 1979

Only record by the Cheetahs on Zoom Records with three decent numbers. Formed in the late seventies in Edinburgh by Joe (vocals), John (guitars), Andrew (bass), Phil (harmonica), Droo (drums). A solid mix of Punk and Powerpop have the Scots celebrated here and their sound makes wanting for more but they didn't release anything else, so this is unfortunately all. Maybe someone is digging up more lost treasures, because I can't imagine that these are their only recordings. Until that day comes, their fantastic slab remains as an excellent example of early Scottish underground music and I guess the band broke up in the early eighties.
