Heavily inspired by the aesthetics and ethos of bikesploitation movies such as The Wild Angels, Werewolves On Wheels and Psychomania, The Death Wheelers seek to glorify this unsung era of movie-making through their sordid sounds. Taking musical cues from rock greats Davie Allan, The Cramps, Motörhead, The Stooges, and Grand Funk Railroad, they make zero compromises when it comes to laying down the groove. Through their bare-bones, stripped down, jammy approach of sleaze ’n’ roll, this instrumental Canadian quartet pushes listeners to their deepest, filthiest carnal / sexual desires.

But the time has come and they have risen for their last ride. They’re back from the grave and they’re hungry for blood! Nothing can stop this gang of living dead from recruiting new members as they travel coast to coast to find the filthiest, nastiest, trashiest individuals to join their ranks. Their goal, assemble a legion of thirteen “discycles” (disciples + cycles) to seek revenge on the pigs that dismantled the club and send them to their graves. The cycle of violence continues…
