It is critical to mention that some major lineup changes have recently occurred and as a result, Cheva have found the unique and powerful sound they have always dreamed of. In May of 2006 Rich Lindamood of 13 Scars and Jahmbi, joined forces and became the new front man of Cheva. Rich can belt out screams that would make Phil Anselmo blush, but somehow his great lyrics still come across clearly. Rich also quickly proved that he could command an audience with ease. Andrew Bogert, former drummer of DreamWorks Records artist, Pressure 4-5 and original drummer for Cheva has returned to the band on guitar. Cheva is now; Jimmy Schultz (Drums), Andrew Bogert (Guitar), Hector Gonzalez (Bass) and Rich Lindamood (Vocals). The band’s wide range of influences defines their unique sound. The influences include, Pantera, Killswitch Engage, Mudvayne, Black Sabbath, Alice In Chains, Faith No More, Sick of it All, Rush, and Iron Maiden. Rich sites his vocal influences as being; Chris Cornell, Cory Taylor, Phil Anselmo and Zach De La Rocha.
Cheva’s Discography includes;
• Self-titled EP. Self released, 1997
• Misunderstood EP, Self-released, 1999
• In Real Life, Full Length, Embryo Records, 2002
• Sampler 2004 “Jagermeister EP”, Embryo Records, 2004
• Sampler 2005 EP, Self released, 2005
• Nameless EP, Self released, 2006
Through continuous gigging all around southern California, Cheva eventually built up a loyal following. In 2001 the band caught the attention of the up and coming label, Embryo Records based in Las Vegas, NV. They signed and fulfilled a two year record deal and are now in the process of shopping their brand new EP, “Nameless”. Some notable shows on Cheva’s resume include The House of Blues, Anaheim with Laguna Coil, Drowning Pool, etc… and the Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles with metal heavyweights Slayer! Cheva’s professional reputation helped them to achieve endorsements from Jagermeister and Dean Guitars. The band has recorded in many well known studios including, Ocean Way in Hollywood, Ca and Grand Master Studios in Hollywood, Ca. ”...Cheva have endured the trials and tribulations that go hand in hand with trying to make it in the music business, and they still maintain. Through adversity, Cheva has stayed true to its roots…” (www.hardcoresounds.net).
Cheva takes the stage with confidence and delivers a heart pounding performance at every show. The band is hungrier than ever and is willing to do whatever it takes to win in the music game. Cheva’s song writing capabilities, stage presence, originality, professional attitude and total dedication are a winning formula for success in the music business.

Cheva Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's hard to see when you′re no one
I don't force it
If I don't want it
There was a time when I was
A part of your business
But now I′ve been worn out
Now I don′t want it
My life's been broken to pieces
What if I don′t see it and feel your sorrow
I want it and I need it
My life is time and it's deceiving
You fall short and so gone that
I can find all those pieces
What if I kept hiding
Being your anti life flag
Now I don′t want it
But I need it
My life's been broken to pieces
What if I don′t see it and feel your sorrow
And I want it
And I need it
My life is time and it's deceiving
Rushed into my last wish
Only to change it tomorrow
I stand here up on it
Rush into life
Don't want it, don′t need it
Don′t watch it, fall to pieces
Wouldn't want it, wouldn′t feel it
My death bed all too wasted
It wouldn't bother me if I gave
Oh God don′t let that be me
Wouldn't run away
What these eyes say
I′m dying
What if I say that I am sorry
Now I don't want it
But I need it
My life's been broken to pieces
What if I don′t see it and feel your sorrow
And I want it
And I need it
My life is time and it′s too see
Rushed into my last wish
Only to change it tomorrow
I stand here up on it
Rush into life
Rushed into my last wish
Only to change it tomorrow
Rush into life
Rushed into my last wish
Only to change it tomorrow
Rush into life
In Cheva's song "Pieces", the artist expresses his conflicted feelings about a past relationship that has left him feeling broken and worn out. The lyrics suggest that he was once an active participant in the relationship and even a part of the other person's business, but now he is no one and sees that his life has been fractured into pieces. Cheva acknowledges that he doesn't force things or want them unless he truly desires them. There is a sense of regret and sorrow at play, as the artist says that he needs the relationship even though he doesn't want it. He is struggling to come to terms with his feelings and find a way to move forward.
The chorus highlights Cheva's emotional turmoil as he grapples with his past and present. His life has been reduced to fragments, and he wonders if he will ever be able to see the other person's point of view or feel their sorrow. Despite this, he acknowledges that he wants and needs something from the relationship – perhaps closure or an acknowledgment of what went wrong. The repeated lines "Rushed into my last wish / Only to change it tomorrow / Rush into life" suggest that the artist is grappling with the fleeting nature of time and the need to make the most of the present moment.
Overall, "Pieces" is a mournful and introspective song that explores the aftermath of a relationship gone wrong. Cheva's lyrics offer a raw and honest insight into the pain and regret that often come with heartbreak.

I bought all the Bumfights merchandise including the Soundtrack album, it goes beyond me why they didn't include this song, but it's ok I've found it and life is now complete
Harris N369
@Dylan Caldwell we need more Bumfights. This new generation needs a reawakening since the leftists softened up em to accept the mass media at face value! BFK4LYFE
jakey bo-bakey
@Muttley cheva was involved with indecline specifically, not bumfights. you can hear the track "ur in" on indecline vol 1
Muttley
Bit late to this, but I think the soundtrack album was made by the guys who produced 2/3/4, but had no involvement with the first one.
skello
Can I buy some bumfights merch off of you?
Dylan Caldwell
