Biography

Star Wheel Press is a Scottish indie/folk/pop band from Aberfeldy, Scotland. It was formed in 2010 when the guitarist and banjo player Craig Milton met the singer and lyricist Ryan Hannigan at a gig by the Edinburgh indie pop band Aberfeldy in the town after which it is named.
The band released an album in 2011, Life Cycle of a Falling Bird, which was that year's biggest selling album in the Avalanche Records shop in Edinburgh after extensive patronage by the shop's management and the renowned crime novelist Ian Rankin.
