Based out of the lonely midwest of America, the Wheelers are a four piece band specializing in 90's influenced alternative/indie rock.
Their debut release, "Observance of the High Ideals" presents ten powerful tracks of thick fuzz.
In a review published in Little Village: Iowa City's News & Culture Magazine, Erik Farseth (Punk Planet, Maximumrocknroll) had this to say about the album, "At its best, indie rock has always attempted to subvert the tough guy poses of its punk and hardcore brethren, an anti-macho stance that can easily degenerate into preciousness or infantilism. Not so here. Observance of the High Ideals marks the point where the deliberate naivety of the lo-fi movement finally circles back on itself. This is heavy, brutal music for tender hearted creatures."
The band has been compared to Pavement, Sonic Youth, the Pixies and Unwound.
In the past they have performed with Dressy Bessy, Simon Joyner, Blackpool Lights, The North Atlantic, The Slats and the Miracles of God.
