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.
19 Wheels is four guys who have not forgotten the knack of songwriting in this day when more emphasis is placed on hot chicks in videos than songs in videos. 19 Wheels assures their fans that when their video is made it will have just the right combination of song, style, and scantily-clad hot chicks.
