The Wheelers were formed in Sacramento, CA, in late 1999. Heavily
influenced by popular musicians from the late 1950s and early 60s, the
Wheelers produce a refreshing blend of post-pop and alternative-indie
rock.
After an extensive European tour with punk rockers Hungerford, the
Wheelers burst onto the college radio scene with their hit, "I Want Some
Bread (Gimme One Slice)." They signed with now-defunct Ontario based
indie label CrotchRockit Records in early 1998 and released the often
misunderstood debut double-disc, "Observance of the High Ideals." After
the small label collapsed due to dwindling record sales, the the Wheelers
regrouped in their hometown of Marion, Iowa, and in the fall of 2004,
began writing new material for their debut release.
