   About the Wheelers
Based out of the lonely midwest of America, the Wheelers are a four piece band specializing in 90's influenced alternative/indie rock.

Most recently, the band released their second full length album, "Milwaukee Black & Tan." Mixed by Ian Williams and Mastered by legendary producer KRAMER (Daniel Johnston, Low, Bongwater, Butthole Surfers, Galaxie 500, Danielson Famile, White Zombie, etcetera.) The album features 10 fuzzed out pop rockers that Kramer calls, "great fucking songs."

In 2008, the band contributed a cover of the Breeders' smash 1993 single, "Cannonball" to the American Laundromat Records release, "GIGANTIC - A Tribute to Kim Deal."

Their 2006 debut release, "Observance of the High Ideals" presented ten powerful tracks of thick fuzz.

In a review published in Little Village: Iowa City's News & Culture Magazine, Erik Farseth (Punk Planet, Maximumrocknroll) had this to say about the album, "At its best, indie rock has always attempted to subvert the tough guy poses of its punk and hardcore brethren, an anti-macho stance that can easily degenerate into preciousness or infantilism. Not so here. Observance of the High Ideals marks the point where the deliberate naivety of the lo-fi movement finally circles back on itself. This is heavy, brutal music for tender hearted creatures."

The band has been compared to Pavement, Sonic Youth, the Pixies and Unwound.

In the past they have performed with Dressy Bessy, Simon Joyner, Jake Bellows (Neva Dinova), Blackpool Lights, The North Atlantic, Ed Gray, The Slats and the Miracles of God.

Thanks for being a Bloodsuckers fan. Actually, I'm about to shoot Rescue Girls but I don't have any footage yet so I put up that video just to give everybody something silly to look at. And, I will use some of that footage in the movie just for fun but this movie is going to be awesome! I've got guys from Tom Savini's school doing FX and I have an awesome D.P. This movie will be totally contemporary. No Bloodsuckers From Outer Space...slow moving, bad acting, bad fx (although that was kinda funny). I'll keep you posted. Glen
