The Wild! release a wild debut of rock and roll

Print

If you have an exclamation mark in your band’s name, there better not be an acoustic guitar or power ballad within shooting distance. Fortunately Kelowna based rockers the Wild!  are all about big loud guitars, shout a long choruses and wicked  guitar playing which grabs the listener from the first track “Party Til You’re Dead” which sums up the band’s philosophy of life  and sound. They barely pause for a breath  through “Straight to Hell” and “Banger.”

 Fans of Nazareth’s more rocking songs as well as AC DC and Sammy Hagar won’t be able to get enough of the Wild!.  If you’re going to sound like a band it may as well be those bands. Frontman Dylan Villain’s  throat shredding voice is a blend of  Brian Johnson, a little Bonn Scott, Sammy Hagar and Dan McCafferty


Their music is pure unfiltered  whiskey, so there are huge guitar riffs, deadly solos and lots of shout along vocals.


 They slow things down slightly on “Deuces” and “ Slow Burn.” But not much. They really slow things down and show off their bluesy side on “ What About You,” which sounds like a lost Bonn Scott era AC DC track. It reminds me a little of “ The Jack.”


 The CD comes to a rollicking close with “ Roadhouse,” which was getting  played a lot on modern rock radio thanks to ear worm of a finger bleeding lead riff.
