Winged Wheel

Formed during the COVID-19 pandemic by indie musicians who'd barely met in person, Winged Wheel is a gamble that paid off. Offering clattering drum loops, noisy sheets of guitar, and impressionistic vocals, the group has only grown in prominence and membership since their spacey 2022 debut No Island was assembled remotely. Follow-ups Big Hotel (2024) and Desert So Green (2026) reiterated their vitality among noise rock enthusiasts.
