   About Against The Wheel

Against The Wheel are a 4 piece high energy rock band from Birmingham, UK. Formed in late 2004, ATW brings together four lifelong friends to form a driving rock sound with heartfelt vocals.

Previous venues have been shaking to an energetic LIVE set that pulls no punches and holds no compromise. Songs such as Outtaline, Sink Like A Stone, Got In My Head and All Around provide wide spread raw appeal while still staying true to experience. Seek them out and you'll agree.

Against The Wheel are:

Gavin Flint - Vocals, Guitars
Jeff Gowen - Bass
Dan Ratcliffe - Guitars
Andy Watson - Drums

"...straight ahead loud, energetic, just polished enough to be a tight outfit, yet just still raw enough to have the edge of unpredictability & avoiding sounding safe" - Birmingham Alive

"Songs like 'Outtaline' and 'Control' show promise, and tonight Against The Wheel are tighter than Spinal Tap's wardrobe." - This Is Fake DIY

Hey again, hope you're good!

I thought I'd drop by to let you know about the upcoming I Have Clones UK tour this July! Dates are up on my page now but basically we're playing everywhere from Glasgow to Torquay and if you can get down to a show it'd be awesome to hang out.

The Facebook event for the tour is here:

=)

The shows should be pretty awesome, so keep in touch and see you on the road!

Howdy,

Thought I'd check in and say hey - hope all's well!

I've just redisigned the myspace, had a photoshoot, created a youtube channel, made a banner you can use on your own page as well as a whole load of other I Have Clones related stuff - if you're interested head on to my page to check it out!

My Dance Gavin Dance remix is also now up on the page, if you haven't already heard it, I'd love to know what you think!

Don't forget that all my music is available to download completely free from my page...

=)

Also, I've still got some merch left, if you like the music and the designs have a look before they're gone!

Lastly if you're in the UK and promote shows, know someone who does, or are in a band and want to play a show with me this Summer hit me up!

Thanks so much!

Hey,

So I’ve just uploaded a new tune - it’s called ‘Long Days, Late Nights’ and you can hear it on my page right now!

Having never written and recorded an entire EP all on my own before I was perhaps a little optimistic in thinking it’d be ready for the end of August; it is nearly done, just not quite yet!

The new tune is going to be the last song on the EP - I think it has that kinda melancholy vibe, but I'd love to know your thoughts..

=)

Hope all is well
