Embracing both modern-day confessional songwriting and colourful retro allure, Big Wheels are ready to jump into 2023 without hesitation. With the release of their first two singles ‘Chain of Fire’ and ‘All I Ever Wanna Do’, the Sydney-based quartet has gained national and international attention.

With their unique blend of classic rock & roll, blues, and country, they draw inspiration from Fleetwood Mac, Oasis, Neil Young, & Jefferson Airplane.
Big Wheels are back with single, “What Are You Waiting For,” with its warm, yet punchy vocal harmonies it’s the band’s first single release on the legendary London Marquee Records label.
Produced by acclaimed Michael Smith at RYP Recordings (Wolf Alice, Honey Lung, Bess Atwell, Weird Milk).
This stellar release comes following a kinetic trail of singles and a successful UK tour with Sofar Sounds UK.
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Big Wheels are a powerhouse golden-rock duo made up of Cass Ford and Lawson Doyle who had this to say of the track:
“This song is like the story of a lifetime. It’s always been floating around in the rehearsals, always unfinished. It wasn’t until we arrived in England in July, that the inspiration came.”
“We had been going through some troubling times with a dear friend, and once the insanely gifted creative direction from Michael Smith was brought to the table, we knew exactly what we wanted to say.”
“Michael is responsible for a lot of the sonic direction of the track; he is real genuine bloke and a very talented producer. It was a step up for us getting to work with him. We want the track to bring a sense of self-empowerment to our listeners; something they can listen to and fuel the fire in their belly because at the end of the day, there’s no better time than now.“
