The Rebel Wheel is a modern progressive-rock ensemble based out of Ottawa Ontario. While the band doesn't necessarily sound like these artists, their influences range from Gentle Giant to Frank Zappa and feature a frenetic mix of rock aggression, odd-meter vamps, and "jazz-shredding". Originally formed in 1991 as a fusion-based midi ensemble, the floating lineup is currently gigging as a keyboard, guitar, bass and drum four-piece that plays angular 12-tone compositions and odd-metered grooves with a hard rock sound.
The band is currently rehearsing new material for their upcoming album, "Whore's Breakfast" and intend to hit the studio in the fall of 2011 until the early winter of 2012.
