Wheat

Wheat is an indie rock group formed by singer/songwriter Scott Levesque, drummer Brendan Harney, guitarist Ricky Brennan, and bass player Kenny Madaras in Taunton, Massachusetts in 1996.

Their debut album "Medeiros", released in 1998 on Sugar Free records, was recorded by Dave Auchenbach and mixed by Red Red Meat's Brian Deck. Madaras had left the group (and was not permanantly replaced) by the release of their second Sugar Free album, 1999's "Hope And Adams" which was co-produced by Dave Fridmann.

The group left Sugar Free for Nude Records in 2000, but the label went out of business due to lack of funding, and no album was released. Some of the songs recorded for the unreleased Nude album would survive as "Naked" versions on the "Too Much Time" compilation. Despite this setback the band continued writing and was signed to Columbia records and released "Per Second, Per Second, Per Second, Every Second" in 2003.

Wheat has a new mini-album, "that's exactly what i wanted... exactly that", available through empyrean records, and are currently finishing up their fourth record, Everyday I Said A Prayer For Kathy And Made A One Inch Square, due out May 22, 2007.
