CHEATAHS is the new project from Nathan Hewitt, also the guitarist in Little Death, the excellent London rock band. 

Growing up in Morinville Alberta, a town with a population of 6, 000, Nathan would hear his Mom play organ at the church every Sunday, the same place he would see bands and meet musicians, and so where many of his early musical influences took place.  Nathan recorded his first song onto a cassette aged 10, he moved to London aged 20 and has lived here for the last six years.

Based on acoustic guitar and amplified through Garageband CHEATAHS is a lo-fi noise-pop solo project.  Recorded at home and by himself, Nathan's songs evoke the sensibilities of punk rock experimentation and deviation but are firmly rooted in traditional pop structures.  Skate-punk nihilism and introverted obsession are underlining themes in his often self-depricating lyrics and an adolescent "dungeons and dragons" undertone helps keep everything from becoming too serious. 

The CHEATAHS debut single will be released on Young and Lost Club on limited edtion 7” vinyl, with artwork and insert designed by Nathan himself (and featuring his cat).
