...The band is a super-tight, well-oiled machine. Frenzied, spastic guitars soar over a machine-gun perfect rhythm section that shoots with assasin-like precision. Out of the nine tracks on the CD, Cheer-Accident proves themselves to be one hell of a great rock band.
Chicago Tribune
Adventurous. Abrasive. Arresting. Welcome to the world of Cheer-Accident. Not A Food is a dark prickly gem that evokes The Jesus Lizard and "Red" era King Crimson with its mesmerizing merger of polyrhythmic guitar dissonance and crack musicianship.
Album Description
Not A Food is the fifth full length release by Cheer-Accident and their first on Pravda Records. Produced by noted Chicago producer Steve Albini, the result is a tight and relentless sonic attack with traces of melancholia and dementia. Cheer-Accident remains one of Chicago's most challenging and interesting bands as dense and dissonant guitars intertwine with grinding drums, bass grooves, noise segments, rythmic patterns and melody. A truly adventurous release by a vital band.
