Wheels On Fire, The Honey Slides, and Cicadas at Mickey's Tavern
Stuffing all the best elements of ’60s garage rock and British Invasion pop into a cool hot rod and then drag racing the whole jangling, blown-out mess on the winding tracks of a cassette tape, Wheels On Fire bashed its heart out enough to attract the attention of Fat Possum Records, which cherry-picked the best tracks for a proper 2009 full-length, Get Famous! The blaring treble of the four-piece’s attack gives the group a good crackle-and-pop delivery that sounds just as good on wax as it does on tape—and probably blasts ears to bits in person. With a 2010 LP, Liar, Liar, and an EP, Cherry Bomb, out on Bobby Hussy (from The Hussy)’s Kind Turkey Records, the band should have plenty of short garage-pop jewels to adorn a full set.
