Charley Horse is an all-star cowpunk outfit 12 years in the making! Originally started by Sean "The Captain" Wheeler and Scott "Chopper" Franklin, the project was shelved when Wheeler set off on his sailor punk expedition that is Throw Rag and Chopper joined The Cramps.

The members of Charley Horse desribe their sound as "Eddie Cochran + PCP" and Wheeler and Franklin bought the project back in 2005 and assembled a band to shoot a video for their song "Bad Ass Dad" off their album Unholy Roller (available on Acetate Records). The current line up features Wheeler on vocals, Franklin (guitar), ex-Nashville Pussy and current Die Hunns member Corey Parks (bass/upright bass), Dino Fury (drums) and Pitstop Tragedy (guitar).

The band has toured extensively throughout America and played the annual Hootenanny Festival in Irvine, CA in 2006. The band is currently writing & recording their follow up album which Parks has described to Rockabilly Magazine as sounding like "early Gun Club meet Link Wray on Acid". Read more on Last.fm.
