"'You Stole The Sun' is just one of about, ooh, four deadly cannonballs in their Clash-bolstered armoury. Expect big things." - Jamie Fullerton, NME

"BELIEVE the hype. Twisted Wheel will surely have given a large chunk of those execs something to ponder as they check through their Blackberry notes at The Midland this morning." - Manchester Evening News

"Over at Dry Bar there's beer dripping from the ceiling, roadies hanging onto the speakers for dear life, twice as many people as there should be rammed into the main stage area and a near riot going off both on stage and on. One buzz band that draws devoted fans, flustered A&R men and curious gig-goers, and for Twisted Wheel this is only the start of their weekend. " - Xfm

"Foolhardy and rightly cynical, there’s hidden wisdom in every one of these songs, all of them dripping with sardonic humour and reckless desperation. Brilliant."
whisperin & hollerin website

"Making waves in Manchester, and it's not hard to hear why. 'Strife' is our pick just now. Yet another reminder that we've moved beyond the Coldplay generation of platitudinous bands; how nice it is that the words matter again (and yes, there's a whole essay to be had here on the influence of hip hop, and how Alex Turner once wanted to be a rapper and.. well, yadda yadda yadda...)." - Observer Music Monthly

"There is an element of complete and utter madness about Twisted Wheel which is quite addictive" - Music Week
Record Label: Columbia
Type of Label: Major
