Wheels on Fire are Athens, Ohio's answer to the 50's soaked garage tunes forming the backbone of the current garage explosion. Reigning Sound meets Elvis Costello meets The Stooges. This is danceable shit! This EP is hot off the tail of their classic LP, "Liar, Liar" on Germany's Alien Snatch Records. It features 4 of their catchiest tunes. Moments of pop perfection and gritty garage mingle with some punk prominence. ESSENTIAL SHIT.
Limited to 500 copies. First 100 on purple vinyl (sold out). Remaining 400 on black. All hand-numbered with an insert. Screen-printed art.
Less than 20 copies left!

"It’s smart, honest, and guitar driven poppy garage rock that’s about as addicting as music comes these days. I just ordered the 7″ when I got home so I can spin it over and over again. I suggest you do the same! The 7″ comes with four songs clocking in at just under 12 minutes long, and each track includes a memorable hook or catchy lyrics that’s bound to keep you coming back for more. Whether it’s the catchy guitar hook at the end of “Cherry Bomb”, or the witty break up lyrics in “Broken Up”, this band is bound to turn heads with their infectious take on the sometimes psych-ish, sometimes bluesy guitar-driven garage rock."

"...Mid-tempo Reigning Sound-y ("Time Bomb High School" era) beat, should go over well with the Wisconsin and Denton demographic - garagey-pop a la your Midwest Beats, Goodnight Lovings and whatnots. Worshippers of the Cartwright form. Not enough rocking for your hardcore turkeys, but pop enough for your Budgeteers and Burgers..."

"It's a slightly more agressive Fresh and Onlys sound, there's not a hint of psyche, they have that greaser attitude, which isn't really dangerous, but they aren't interested in any messing around...Like Shannon and the Clams or Nobunny, Wheels on Fire owe a lot to the 50's harmony garage rock, it's a straightforward homage to that stripped down rock sound which is probably going to stick around in some form or another forever."
