Abrasive Wheels

British punk rock band

Abrasive Wheels are a punk rock band hailing from Leeds, England, that formed in the late 1970s. They became a prominent act within the UK's punk scene during the early 1980s, known for their raw energy and rebellious lyrics. The band's debut album, "When The Punks Go Marching In!", was released in 1982 and is considered a classic in the punk genre, capturing the spirit of the era with its aggressive sound and anthemic tracks. Abrasive Wheels were associated with the Riot City label, which was reflected in their compilation "The Riot City Years 1981 - 1982," showcasing some of their work from that period. Although they disbanded in the mid-1980s, Abrasive Wheels have had several reunions over the years and have continued to influence new generations of punk bands. Their legacy is marked by their contribution to the UK punk movement and their enduring fan base.
