Band

A Sheep at the Wheel

DIN

›› Based in Vancouver, Canada, A Sheep at the Wheel fuses pulsing riff-laden verses, huge hooky choruses, and powerful vocals in an original alt-rock package.

“Love the CD. Great vocals. Awesome sounds.
…they’re definitely doing all the right things.”

Jim Vallance
Renowned songwriter (Thornley, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith)

“If the ‘Blend’ EP is any indication, you will be hearing lots more bleating from A Sheep at the Wheel. There’s no sleeping by counting this flock. The guitar, beats and compelling vocals are all there… Big Bottom and hooks galore. Check it out!”

- Larry and Willy
Legendary Jack FM Radio Hosts

“They are a very up-beat, melodic band with great harmonies and solid instrumentals. Courtney is one of the most animated frontmans I have seen in a while and he provides the necessary energy to drive the [show] forward.”

- Ronatron.net

A Sheep at the Wheel has to be one of the top must-see Vancouver bands. The 2005 release of their first independent record, Blend, garnered the Sheep enough attention to be voted in the top 3 new local bands two years running in Vancouver’s foremost arts and entertainment paper, The Georgia Straight. They won the 2005 University of BC Battle of the Bands and beat out over 30 bands to win the Best Vocals prize at a Garfield Productions talent search in 2006. Three of Blend’s five tracks received spins CFOX, CITR, and CBC, and two are featured on independent film soundtracks. A Sheep at the Wheel also appeared on Vancouver’s Urban Rush TV show. They have opened for big acts like Finger Eleven, Edwin, and Wide Mouth Mason, and have played BC Place, the PNE Coliseum, and most of Vancouver’s top clubs.

A Sheep at the Wheel has honed and refined their catchy rock sound on their new record, Dreams and Debris. The video for D&D’s first single shot up to #15 on youtube.com in a matter of days. The Sheep are now active promoting their new record online and on the stage.
