Wheels On Fire are a garage-pop band formed by John Garris (Guitar, Vocals), Susan Musser (Organ), and brothers Michael (Guitar, Vocals) and Matthew Chaney (Drums) in Athens, Ohio. They have toured the U.S. and Europe^[2] extensively and have released records on Chicago's Trouble in Mind, Mississippi's Fat Possum Records, and Germany's Alien Snatch.

The band gained notoriety when Jack Oblivian of The Oblivians fame championed them and got them signed to Fat Possum records in 2008 and subsequently toured with them.^[3] Their sound has been referred to as mixing the power pop of Elvis Costello with the current garage sounds of Greg Cartwright and his The Reigning Sound outfit.^[4][5]
