Today we can announce that Wheel's new bassist will be the amazing Aki Virta. He kicks ass. Come check out one of our upcoming shows to see for yourself! Regarding shows, we have some really cool stuff in the pipeline for 2020 that we will announce as soon as we can.
Today, we unfortunately have to announce that our bassist Mikko has decided to leave Wheel for reasons that out of respect for his privacy, we are unwilling to discuss. We collectively wish Mikko well with his future endeavours and have felt truly privileged to work on the band with him over the past four years - good luck with whatever comes next from all of us!

Our new album ‘Moving Backwards’ is out now!
If an album is nothing more than a snapshot of where a band is at a given point in their life-cycle, then "Moving Backwards" is a record of a really cool moment in Wheel's development. The band was under an enormous amount of self-inflicted time pressure to complete the song writing, arranging, sound design and recording for the material and if anything, this has lent an organic immediacy and an ever-present, suspenseful chaos to the seven tracks on the recording.
Compared to their previous EPs, every part of the creative process was improved in some way. From collaborating more closely (including some really impactful creative contributions from recent addition to the team, guitarist Roni Seppänen), mix engineer, Jesse Vainio's phenomenal mic placement for the room sounds of the drum recording, broad experimentation with amplification and sound design and lyrics, contemplating modern society's descent into tribalism, "Moving Backwards" is the new standard Wheel have set for themselves, moving forward.
We are very excited to be part of this year’s line up of Festival Holledau in Bavaria on July 5th!
