Burning the flame for rock and roll and working class grit, Big Wheels is not a band that slows down. Lead singer/songwriters Cass Ford and Lawson Doyle have built a loyal and growing fanbase not only across Australia but now notably throughout the UK and parts of America. Their ongoing collaboration with London producer Michael Smith, known for his work with Wolf Alice and Elvis Costello, has seen the band hone an ethereal, anthemic sound that balances heartfelt, accessible lyricism and blends elements of country and rock.
Drawing from emotive songwriting and empowering delivery, and calling to mind influences such as Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles and Oasis, their recent releases Silver and Black and Lose on You continued to gain traction for the band across Triple J and community radio nationwide, cementing them as one of the most exciting emerging voices in Australian rock.
The band first broke into parts of Europe after being selected for an artist residency with Sofar Sounds across the UK in 2023 and have since earnt ongoing support from BBC Introducing, a sold-out London headline show and festival appearances including The Great Escape and Maverick Festival.
Back home in Australia, Big Wheels have continued to build momentum with Sydney and Brisbane headline shows selling out in presale. Alongside national festival appearances and an enigmatic SXSW Sydney showcase last year, their catalogue has earned editorial placementacross Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music, as well as tastemaker support from rock royalty including Beck and Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty. Having shared the stage with some of Australia’s finest, including Mental As Anything, The Rions, Pacific Avenue and The Southern River Band, Big Wheels are now gearing up for their biggest year yet, with their third release of 2026 'Bury Me In Velvet'; continuing an exciting chapter in the band’s evolving sonic journey.
