Don't miss Austin's Best New Band,Wheeler Brothers, on Last Call with Carson Daly this week! (jamie at pressherepublicity.com<mailto:jamie at pressherepublicity.com>)

Praise for Portraits:
“There might be some kind of magic in the Lone Star state's air because the group's debut, Portraits, is a pensive, powerful, and poetic indie rock opus… If a picture is worth a thousand words, Portraits may be worth a million…” – ArtistDirect.com<http://ArtistDirect.com/>

“…mixing country rock guitars with warm, rootsy vocals. Portraits stakes out ground somewhere in the vast space between Band of Horses and the Avett Brothers.” – Austin American Statesman

“Through 11 fiery roots-influenced cuts, the Brothers bare their songwriting chops with an addictive sense of bravado and cerebral storytelling... Seemingly a bottomless pit of musical vision, Portraits is a debut that shows this band’s melodic wellspring already bubbling over.” – Elmore Magazine

“…ball-of-fire Americana and fueled by expansive musical backgrounds…” – Austin Chronicle

“Wheeler Brothers are a rough-and-tumble tribe from Austin, Texas… they chug their guitars with the gusto of a locomotive…” – AOL Spinner

“Rooted in the many shades of Americana, the Austin-based quintet isn't afraid of borrowing from the past and joins an increasing number of groups such as the Head and the Heart and Fleet Foxes in carving a new sound into indie's vast sonic landscape.” – Washington Post
