| WYLDLIFE Returns with sorted. – A Blast of Hook-Heavy Rock ‘n’ Roll Out May 16 on Wicked Cool Records“They are young, loud, sweaty, snotty, irreverent, catchy, and clever. This is – proudly, unabashedly, unapologetically, and frequently shirtlessly – a rock ‘n’ roll band.”- Jersey Beat“Their trunk is full of contraband and these dudes are on a mission to set the world ablaze with their songs. Like the NYC heroes before them, WYLDLIFE are real, raw and don’t follow the straight and trendy trail to please the masses. They play rock ‘n’ roll that makes your heart beat faster and your fists scream. If you don’t know, now you do. Welcome to the WYLDLIFE!”- Thrasher“With a unique blend of classic punk, glam, and power-pop, New York’s WYLDLIFE are just good, old-fashioned, fun rock ‘n’ roll. It’s hard not to feel a sense of nostalgia in their music, even if it’s a nostalgia for a time you’ve never been to.”- New Noise MagazinePre-Order/Pre-Save The New LP ‘sorted.’ Here |
| New York City’s loudest sons are back. After five long years, WYLDLIFE returns swinging with sorted., their latest full-length LP dropping May 16 on Wicked Cool Records. Recorded over three years across half a dozen studio sessions, sorted. is a snarling, swaggering sonic mélange of all things rock ‘n’ roll. “It’s like dumping out a big box of puzzle pieces,” says frontman and lyricist Dave Feldman. “It’s all over the place — and so are we. But now, it’s sorted.” The title is both a nod to British slang and a tongue-in-cheek reflection on the long road to its creation. But those pieces snap together into ten wonderful, disjointed yet somehow homogenous tracks that hit hard, fast and filthy – delivering WYLDLIFE’s trademark cocktail of catchy, irreverent, and razor-sharp rock with more bite than ever. The opening riff of “Bystander” hits like a boot to the chest, and from the anthemic, shout-along “Fast Dreams,” to the glam-jangle of “Dizzy” and the melodic road-trip of “Shotgun,” sorted.is the sound of a band aging without ever growing up. Imagine early ‘70s Stones brawling with The Hives in a dive bar bathroom while Johnny Thunders grins in the corner, that’s the energy WYLDLIFE bottles and breaks open here. Five albums in, they’re not just here to party – they’re here to remind you why you fell in love with rock ‘n’ roll in the first place. If you thought rock was dead, this album kicks down the door, pours a beer on your head, and screams: “We’re just getting started.” sorted.

| What others have said about WYLDLIFE:“During their live shows, frontman Dave Feldman can transform from having a preening ’70s Mick Jagger vibe to the beer-soaked, primal intensity of Iggy Pop in an instant.”- Inked Magazine“…the New York foursome has delivered its best and most stylistically varied album yet.”- Faster and Louder“With an irrepressible fusion of punk, garage and power-pop, WYLDLIFE’s fourth full-length album, and arguably its best, explodes with its nods to rock ‘n’ roll icons from the Stone Roses to the New York Dolls to the Rolling Stones, along with a few tracks that might surprise even long-time fans.”- Jersey Journal/NJ.com“Swaggering rhythms, infectious choruses, and lyrics that are instantly memorable. WYLDLIFE imagines a more focused Paul Westerberg creating a bomping bit of hard-edged but radio-ready pop.”- PopMatters“High-octane rock with just the right blend of snottiness …meant to be played very incredibly loud. Kind of plays like a stadium-filling evolution of nerdy punk a la Cheap Trick.”- A Journal Of Musical Things“WYLDLIFE would’ve easily fit in alongside bands such as The Strokes, Jet, or The Hives, just as much as they would have found their place on the CBGB’s stage in the 1970’s.”- All Ages Zine“Highly essential rock ‘n’ roll…”- RPM OnlineYou know what I never get tired of?….loud guitars, catchy melodies, leather jackets and bands that sneer at the camera. WYLDLIFE brings the ruckus! – Andy Shernoff (Dictators) |
