Press Reviews Cheva plays modern hardcore influenced by the likes of pantera, The Deftones, and fear factory. Based out of Orange County, their new six song EP is bound to garner them a good deal of attention. Misunderstood has a full sound, one of dynamic intensity that spills out through the speakers and into the dark regions of your mind. The production values on the disc are excellent and really presents the band in a good light. Vocalist Santos is a dynamic front man, delivering the well thought out lyrics with passion. Guitarist Dylan fills the air with a wild guitar noise. The pulsating rhythm section consists of Hector on bass and Andy on drums. Cheva's metallic compositions are just what the industry is looking for -- don't be surprised to find these guys signed to a major label by the time 2001 rolls around. Highlight tracks include "Brown World," "Get Up," and "Juice." Review by Kenneth Morton, Editor of Highwire Daze magazine Feb 2000
