Since 2007 they have been strutting their stuff, which equals to a love of all things FREE, LED ZEPPELIN, VAN HALEN, SOUNDGARDEN, ALICE IN CHAINS etc. I\u00b4d personally like to add a bundle of bluesy hair bands like BADLANDS, perhaps CINDERELLA, aw, you\u00b4ll get the idea. They have already played alongside UFO and KEN HENSLEY, so what are they doing really?<\/p>\n<p>First up is the extremely agreeable \u201cStand Up\u201d. Anyone who has heard BANDLANDS and, probably, EXTREME will hum along. It fits like a glove to that audience. \u201cInto the Water\u201d reeks of UFO and LED ZEPPELIN, a typical seventies stomp. Next up is the simply titled \u201cLove\u201d. Not my bag quite, too much ALICE IN CHAINS with ROBERT PLANT on vocals. But then they bring me backto the bluesy 80\u00b4s, back to long hair and spandex plus a love of the previous decade. \u201cTellin\u00b4 No Lies\u201d is a song I would like to have recorded myself! The same goes for \u201cComin\u00b4 Out\u201d, oddly enough since it is way too high up in the sky with John Bonham &#038; Co. A couple of ok tracks are in here, but as a whole THE WHEEL churn out very cozy stuff waving the banner of the best of decades gone by. That will probably do the thing for them for some time, especially with those faithful riffs and the strong vocals. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nStand Up<br \/>\nInto the Water<br \/>\nLove<br \/>\nTellin\u00b4 No Lies<br \/>\nSparks<br \/>\nLost Soul<br \/>\nComin\u00b4 On<br \/>\nWalk on Out<br \/>\nCry of the Night<br \/>\nAll This Time<\/p>\n<p>www.musicbuymail.eu www.myspace.com\/thewheelrocks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music Buy Mail\/Sound Pollution Norwegians THE WHEEL may sound like a spoof, three Norwegians and a Russian bass player, but the last laugh will be on you.
