Nothing makes a band more happy than coming back home... home meaning Atlanta and seeing their dedicated fans brave the rain to see them. The five-piece band, The Wild comes from their love of playing music and backpacking out in mother nature. Their music is rooted in raw, hardcore punk rock but layered with a tinge of folk-influenced, Bruce Springsteen-esque sounds.The Wild is more than a hybrid folk-meets-punk band. Their lyrics are diverse ranging from politics to inspiring people that the sky is the limit. Performances are very emotional as one of the lead singers, Dianna teared up when she declared that Atlanta is truly the greatest city. At to add to this raw display of emotion, she asked her fans, if her lipstick is smearing her teeth. It was sort of a weird moment, but the audience got a kick when she applied more lipstick.
Bottom line: People who love punk rock, especially the raw strip down version will enjoy their live performances. Also for those who still listen to the Violent Femmes, check these guys out, their music is more high tempo though but Steve, who plays the banjo, adds folksy, clear, crisp sound to the loud guitars and heavy drumming.
