Based in Los Angeles this East London three piece have managed to knockout this here E.P. and still keep us folks back home at the front of their minds.

Lead Track 'Museum Of Tolerance rushes out of the speakers on a fuzzed out Hendrix fuelled flood of distorted guitar and jazzy backbeat and we're immediately down to business. The opener sounds angry and certainly more than just a little peeved at something or other, and through the power of music the Kings manage to kick up a decent stink "I am a war maker" - indeed you are sirs.

Onto track number two and '5th Of Ten' ushers in another slab of frantic riffing and some scattergun grooves towards the chorus of sorts.  This is a pretty decent song that stutters and jars it's way into your bonce. As to what the song is actually about I haven't the faintest idea but fear not the overall picture is interesting and very, very listenable.

Sadly the same can't be said of track three '15.2.42' as it's a fleeting interlude of a soundscape clocking in at a mighty 52 seconds, although we are are soon back on track with the final track 'Victoria In Reverse' with it's stumbling rhythm and brooding bass line coming on like a primetime Jane's Addiction jam.  This is possibly the pick of the E.P. for me, and on the strength of the 3 full-length songs here The King Cheetahs are a band I'd definitely like to investigate further.

How about flying me over to Los Angeles for an interview exclusive then eh?
