| Since 1993 Flywheel have been defining their sound and drawing interest from discerning listeners in France, US and Japan – where they have been met with critical acclaim. In fact, their previous three albums were released overseas but not their homeland Australia! They have toured overseas – and have been met by both critical and public acclaim.
That they have attracted attention overseas is of no surprise upon hearing Flywheel’s music – it is quintessentially Australian. Flywheel encapsulates Australia, with a sound reminiscent of the Triffids and the Go-Betweens – songs resonate with Australian images and feel like a hot summer day – but not through any conscious decision – it’s just the way it is. Not since Wide Open Road or Cattle and Cane has a band approximated in song our harsh light and droll humour. |
