Magwheel Records

Based in Montreal, Canada Magwheel Records is that nation's premier indie label specializing in pop, emo, punk rock, and well... you name it. With a keen ear and a saavy business sense, Magwheel Records constantly releases great records with tremendous support of their artists. Yup, Magwheel is the indie source from The Great White North.

Chino
Ex-Nils singer/guitarist Alex Soria continues the big rock tradition of his former band with four songs that have all of the energy and conviction required for truly great rock and roll. It's big, loud, and giddy, with ringing melodies and thick layers of guitars.

Mala Leche


The Fearless Freep
Deliberate and emotional, Fearless Freep release influences from Lou Barlow and other lo-fi creations with pop-rock overtones. Simple, rough-around-the-edges guitar parts enhance sincere vocals and simple yet contemplative lyrics.

No Less Sordid
And Fall Is How You Sleep


Graig Markel
New Sweet Breath frontman Graig Markel goes solo with deeply felt, soul-inflected pop songs about loss and love.

Verses On Venus
Hard Grammar


New Sweet Breath
New Sweet Breath has been crafting emo-pop gems for years. This is a new volume of the songwriting handbook that sounds as if it was edited by Soul Asylum in their heyday.

Acceleration and Distortion


The Nils
The Nils
Retro yourself with this uber-respected 80's punk band with the same Minneapolis punk sound that brought you the Replacements, Husker Du, and Soul Asylum.

Greens Fields In Daylight


Resin Scraper
Resin Scraper spits in your face straight out of Ottawa Canada with a real dose of classic 70's punk and modern day garage rock. Think of the Stooges or the MC5, if they got tackled by the New Bomb Turks out on the playground. Together since 1992, this is hardcore with a harmonica.

Heard Mentality


Sackville
Champions of the "slacker country" ethic of lazy guitars and tear-in-your-beer vocals, Sackville will remind you of Camper Van Beethoven, only a little more inebriated.

These Last Songs


Stuntman
Fusing the always changing elements Pacific Northwest indie rock and California, Jawbreaker-esque pop. This Boise, Idaho quartet has created a powerful record here with a very unique sound.

The American Fadeout


Tagging Satellites
Members of New Sweet Breath create numbing noise collages of twisted pop that suggest a collision between PJ Harvey and Jucifer at the methadone clinic.

Shooting Down The Airwaves
Abstract Confessions
