Formed in April 2005 by Guitarist Xiaole and Drummer Wang Di. Soon later Bass player Wang Zhitie and Vocalist Panda joint in to star playing new school styled pop punk with an emo tough. October 2005 the release their first EP "We are here", in December they added another newly written songs and reissued the EP. There 2nd EP "The Wheels" came out in June 2007. And another two years later, after several shows, festival participation and tours, the finally got an record deal with Scream Records!
These guys from Chongqing play new school skater punk along the lines of Sum 41 and A Simple Plan. Front man reminds me of Henry Rollins a little, or rather Rollins Lite. Anyway, The Wheels quit their day jobs to come do this thang, ‘cause in their words: “You can always work, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.” The Wheels are also good friends with M+. - Vox Rock[1]
