Sparkwheel creates a feeling of vertigo in small children without the annoying aftertaste found in other processed cheese products. Often mistaken for the sound of oncoming traffic, the band has frequently been cited for moving violations.

Press Info

Sparkwheel embrace the heady eclecticism of cacophonous, Zorn-style horn/rhythm freakouts as well as darkly accessible, Cramps-ian or Thin White Rope Post-Punk styling. The resulting sound is that of an accomplished band capable of creating indulgent pop, as well as its antithesis. -Kelly Bauman -Listen.com

Bio

Found in a state of grace in 1981, Sparkwheel started as a small vocal minority and gradually diminished. Starting with dryers, fishbowls, and other found objets d'art to create musically eclectic projects, Sparkwheel has gradually incorporated larger and more involved elements in their music to create a more architecturally advanced alien civilization.
