  Snotty Tulsa trio The Wheelz (https://www.facebook.com/TheWheelz) are back with a new 7". It's their third appearance on here (following their cover of The Partisan's So Neat and I'm So Tired Of Living In The USA). The latter of those songs featured on their fantastic Top 10 Super Hits! album which you hopefully all know and love https://wandarecords.bandcamp.com/album/top-10-super-hits 




  The new ep is titled Twenty / Twenty and if you're quick there's a few copies left at Boulevard Trash  https://boulevardtrashpunk.com/shop/ols/products/the-wheelz-twenty-twenty-ep If you're in the UK then it's available via No Front Teeth Records https://www.nofrontteeth.co.uk/ whilst for European fans you can get it on cassette here https://tapeordie.bigcartel.com/product/tod-84-the-wheelz-20-20-ep

  With influences including the likes of '77 era punk, Toy Dolls, The Briefs etc we're served up a fun four tracks of irreverent old school punk including a spirited cover of Splodgenessabounds/Rolf Harris' Two Little Boys. Elsewhere we get Washed Away, a catchy singalong with a Clash style guitar riff, the short and punchy Generation Turncoat and a lead track (see below) which anthemically rails against those in positions of power who just want control to serve their own ends. 

   This is called Politicians...
