Pittsburgh punk rock ‘n’ rollers The Cheats<\/strong> are celebrating their 25th year and are celebrating with a new split EP<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Split It Up<\/em> sees Todd Porter and his ever-revolving band share a 7in with like-minded souls Wayward Brigade<\/strong>, from Maryland, with each band contributing two tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The release on Screaming Crow Records opens with Only Thing I’m Fucking Is Up<\/em>, one of the standout tracks on The Cheats’ sixth and most recent full-length album, 2025’s Old Rats On A New Ship<\/em> (check that out on Bandcamp HERE<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n

It’s followed by a classic cover, their take on Fun City<\/em>, by Tuff Darts, who were a glam punk band from New York City, and one of the first to establish an audience at the famous CBGBs venue in the Bowery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayward Brigade were born in the dystopian chaos of 2020 in Hub City in Maryland, and debuted with the West End Tragedy<\/em> EP in 2022. They self-released their first album, No More Heroes<\/em>, in 2024. It’s available from their Bandcamp page HERE<\/a><\/strong> as a name-your-price download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
