90s BAND SUNWHEEL REUNITE WITH A RENEWED ENERGY AND PURPOSE WITH NEW SINGLE “GLORIOUS WAYS”

INDEPENDENT

Sunwheel are a UK indie rock band driven by a passion for melodic songwriting, powerful guitar music and the enduring spirit of British alternative rock.

Featuring Mark Gould on Vocals & percussion, Rob Manners on Lead guitar, keyboards, harmonica & backing vocals, Andy Richardson on Guitar & backing vocals, Tim Rice on Bass guitar and John Middleton on Drums & Percussion.

SUNWHEEL were first formed in the heady days of the 1990’s, a golden age of indie rock. Touring the university circuit and the London scene, Sunwheel were known for their soaring ‘Verve-like’ choruses and accomplished musicianship. Fast forward to August 2024 and the band reunited with renewed energy and purpose, releasing new music as well as gigging with the well-known and much-loved classic Sunwheel anthems.

Taking inspiration from other iconic bands such as The Charlatans, Ride and Oasis, Sunwheel blend shimmering guitars, driving rhythms and expansive soundscapes to create songs that feel both timeless and contemporary. Their music balances classic indie influences with modern production and a strong focus on memorable melodies. The band’s debut comeback single in late 2024, Ferris Wheels (and Laser Beams), introduced listeners to their distinctive sound and was supported by an official music video, both of which received much critical acclaim and praise.

Since then, Sunwheel have continued to build on this momentum through further releases, live performances, an ever-growing fan base, and gaining support from independent music communities. Recent highlights include being featured by Aldora Britain Records, sharing a bill with Scottish rockers Shambolics and appearing at Y-Not Festival. The band’s latest release, ‘Glorious Ways’, is a soundscape built around uplifting themes and an anthemic chorus. The single captures the optimism and emotional connection that sit at the very heart of the band’s music.

Combining jangling guitars, dynamic arrangements and an energetic ambience, the track reflects Sunwheel’s ambition to create songs that resonate both on record and live on the stage. As they continue to expand their audience, Sunwheel remains focused on delivering compelling live performances and releasing music that celebrates the enduring appeal of great guitar-driven songwriting.
