From 19wheels.com:

19 Wheels is a Midwest rock band. Period.

Their self-released 2001 debut (don’t be fooled by the Standard Records imprint) sold over 13,000 copies. They shared stages with bands who had wads blown on them way larger, with less fortunate results. But enough of that talk.

After taking the majority of 2003 to record the follow up CD, the band is set to hit 2004 on the ground and running. The new CD, Jawbreaker, is a knockout. While People Magazine said Sugareen had “more hooks than a tackle box”, Jawbreaker is filled with enough uppercuts, right crosses and donkey punches to more than get the job done.

    While I was a student at MSU these guys tore up the stages all over town. I miss 'em.

    Their last show was amazing. If you haven't you heard their new EP (which they released at the show), you're missing out. It's amazing.
