The Color Wheels

About Me



When Poughkeepsie singer/guitarist Jon Sebastian was asked by his wife Psalm to teach her the drums, he figured he'd need a new batch of good, simple rock tunes to help her with the basics. This exercise in restraint has resulted in one of the more engaging debuts of 2007. Starting with the winsome "Rock My World," the Wheels get into their stripped-down guitar-jangle pop, and like a Shins album, keep rewarding the listener with well-crafted melodies and tasteful production by Jacques Cohen (Mercury Rev, The Brides). And oh yes, the new tunes worked - Psalm rocks the drum kit like a champ." - Roll Magazine
