I remember seeing Aaron Artis skate to this song in Urban Rubble when I was a teenager.

Let's see when was the last time a group had a theme song-sometime back in the 60s. Anyway a great sounding theme! Way to go!

The influence of 60’s Northwest garage pioneers The Sonics is wider reaching than imaginable. They were easily one of the first high-octane, lo-fidelity garage bands of their era or any, but the snarling energy, gritty tension and blood-curdling screams predated punk, blueprinted grunge and informed all rock and roll that was to come.

It would only make sense then, that eventually a cache of dyed-in-the-wool Sonics fiends would come together to record 16 Sonics classics, in tribute to one of the most important bands we’ve ever known. Scott Mccaughey (R.E.M. / Minus 5 / Young Fresh Fellows) joined with Mark Arm, Steve Turner, and Dan Peters from Mudhoney, Tom Price (U-Men / Gas Huffer / Monkeywrench), Big Kahuna (Girl Trouble), and Craig Flory to form The New Original Sonic Sound. A seven-piece all star powerhouse!

The Mudhoney factor is huge, as Mark Arm’s vocals lead the songs and 3/4 of the band is the backbone for NOSS. But more than sounding like Mudhoney doing a covers re-cord, you really get a sense of how deep an influence The Sonics had on Mudhoney and all of these players, and all their friends’ and peer’s bands. The sense of reverence and purpose is audible, and the recordings are wild, electric and fun as hell.

People Get Ready

I wrote this song thinking of great skate sessions skating big open places like Uvas Dam in Gilroy or skating ditches for miles in New Mexico. Endless lines down a long and winding road that sometimes end in road rash. One true rush.

Biography
Clay Wheels started in the early nineties in San Jose by Ray Stevens II feeling the need to get some action music going with buds Kal Gettle and Randy Burk. After a few trips to the Northwest and shows in the Bay Area the shape of the group was constantly changing with different drummers (Todd Jackson, Julie Rose) and a fill in studio guitarist (Mike Fox) the core of the group settled when Jonny Manak was added on guitar and Eric Powers stayed put on the drum stool.
Born to Barge was recorded and released as a promo item with the Black Label Jason Adams Punk Point board and the songs were featured on 411 skate videos, skate documentaries, radio ads, etc.
The band played GvR contests for Etnies,skatepark grand openings and rocking shows.
