Saw Wheel – The Next Train

This is Saw Wheel’s long awaited first full length effort. Saw Wheel brings you more of what you want and expect. Chock full of southern flavored porch tunes with sincere whiskey-soaked vocals layered over top. The end result is a unique blend of working class country punk with gritty brash lyrics.

Ghost Mice / Saw Wheel – Split CD

Ghost Mice is a folk-punk band from Bloomington, Indiana. Some might even call Ghost Mice the a Plan-it-X superband. Others wouldn’t. Regardless of this fact, if you’ve liked any of their other bands (Operation: Cliff Clavin, The Devil is Electric), than you’ll feel right at home with this accoustic set. The Saw Wheel is an Alt-Country artist who has most of his discography available through Hillbilly Stew Records. If you like Tim Barry or Chuck Ragan, you’ll wonder how you could have missed out on The Saw Wheel for so long.

Recorded at Goldentone Studio in Gainesville, FL w/Rob McGregor

Till Death – 7″

From Phatom Sound Records:
Short lived metalcore band that was to good to last. Fans of Iron Maiden take note! Members later went on to Set Your Goals, and Set it Straight.

Actions Aside – Just Another Scar (Demo)

From Phatom Sound Records:
Six songs to get your ass kicked to. Anthems like “Please Destroy Yourself”, show no compassion for addiction, while instrumental “Keep Your Hopes Up” is like the calm before the storm. Hardcore with a hint of Melody. I liken it to Stretch Armstrong.

Saw Wheel / Milkcrate Rustlers Split 7″

This particular split is one of my favorite alt-country splits to date. If you haven’t heard of The Saw Wheel before, then slapping an RIYL: Chuck Ragan, Tim Barry, Hank Williams in front of you would just about sum things up. Milkcrate Rustlers are twangy bluegrass inspired duo which claim to be (and they quote) “old-time Appalachian and Ozark string band music in the DIY punk tradition”. Whatever, they melt my face off.

This is colored vinyl. The record came in a gradient of colors from the range of pink, rose, bright pink and bright purple. Because of this gradient, there is no color count.
