Saw Wheel is a relatively unknown heartland punk band from a small town that most people don't even know exists. The band is currently writing and recording songs for their third full-length album entitled American Fireworks, which will be released on their label, Dreadful Industries.
The band's music has been described as honest and sad but hopeful, country-influenced, punk rock with raspy vocals.
Previously, the band has released records, CDs and demos on No Idea Records, Plan-It-X Records, Hill Billy Stew Records, Hazzard Records, Team Science Records, and No Division Records.
The band released their first "electric" record, a two song seven inch, in early 2010, as a split release between Anti-Creative Records and Covert Coercion Records.
"SAW WHEEL:
"Raw Words" b/w "The Old Days": 7"
Earnest, glowing-ember music that's a mix between Rumbleseat (think the more acoustic side of Hot Water Music) and John "Cougar" Mellencamp. It's intimate, well played, direct, and could be in a folk punk lineup or a bill with more country influences, like Ninja Gun or Drag The River. There's some nice, quiet security here, and it sounds like Saw Wheel comes from a small town, even if they aren't. Well realized. –Todd Taylor (Anti-Creative)" Razorcake
