NEW SINGLE "ROCKETSHIP" NOW STREAMING EVERYWHERE!
Sometimes you need space to get back to yourself and the ones you love. Sometimes you need to go to the back of the moon to find the meaning and importance of the things that are normally right in front of you.
BLUES IN HEAVEN is a song I wrote the day I found out my friend Mike Freas had passed away in 2017. Mike was a bluesman and a friend/mentor to many musicians in LA. This song and lyrics came to me after listening to his music that day. I feel like he helped...

This is a 6 song EP from Joel Eckels and the Wreckards recorded in early 2011. Aside from using a couple of the original tracks from the "Dunsmuir sessions" and tracking vocals with Chris Fuhrman, we recorded everything ourselves for this one. All of the rhythm and guitar tracks were recorded live in full takes.
"Gogo Nikki, the Spy" is the first song that the band has written together from scratch. credits released March 15, 2011

Recorded in the fall of 2005 at Eggchair Studios in Hollywood with Chris Fuhrman after the breakup of Paper Sun. It was the first group of songs I had written after the Good Things album. We recorded these songs all live in the same room. I borrowed a Gretch archtop guitar from Jenni Alpert for these sessions, which is what inspired me to get the '57 Harmony I now use as my main guitar. credits released December 5, 2005
Joel Eckels - vocals & guitar Dawn Thomas - backing vocals on "What That's About" and Little Brother Chris Lovejoy - percussion
