So… drum recording is almost done, there’s just one song that’s not done yet. It’s just our luck that we run into a hitch so close to the finish line.
“What the f..k is up with these bass drum pedals??”
“Let’s check if the settings are the same for left and right pedal… nope that’s not it.”
“WTF, the right pedal feels very sticky and unresponsive?!?”
Turns out one of the bearings in the right pedal is busted. Hopefully we’ll get a replacement soon.
The Human Wheel album is now available on Spotify.
The reviews page has been updated so you can read what the critical reviewers say about Human Wheel.
Our new rehearsal/recording room is almost done and sounds great! It’s time to start playing again after a long break!!! 
Now… lemme see… was the guitar neck supposed to point left or right???
Here’s some photos from yesterdays rehearsal session. Matti was sick 
so he’s missing…

…at least ProgRalph @ DigitalSteel thinks so:
Digital Steel (Rating: 85 /100)
“Human Wheel is highly recommended for progressive rock fans. With this album the Trusties show lots of progressive highlights, sometimes heavy and the other time with emphasis on rock. Trusties are a band that deserves a breakthrough. With this album it might be possible.”
Human Wheel gets more positive reviews, here’s one from Italy:
Metallopedia – Il wiki dell’ Heavy Metal
“Lavoro davvero interessante per un disco autoprodotto. Per gli amanti del genere, un’ottima opportunità.”
Jodie Woodgate reviews Human Wheel at http://www.roomthirteen.com/cd_reviews/10488/Trusties__Human_Wheel.html
Some snippets:
“Trusties are a band that is hard to beat, effortlessly able to create a vibrant soundscape such as on ‘When Sense Meets Its maker’ and ‘Them Or Us’ that engulfs with its theatrics until you are powerless, destined to go on Trusties musical journey with them amid a wave of intricate guitars that will excite and amaze in equal measure.”
“‘Human Wheel’ is graceful, allowing every intricate drum beat, every complex guitar riff to truly shine for all to appreciate be you a true prog-rock follower or merely an occasional listener.”
“Forget what you thought you knew about progressive rock and open your minds to the world of Trusties.“
Rated 10 out of 13.
