Pass.

“I’m no hero anymore”

WILD are a folk/indie pop band from Los Angeles, California. They have released an album and a string of singles. WILD sound like Of Monsters and Men, The Lumineers and The Strumbellas. They are influenced by St Lucia, Bryce Fox and Young The Giant. Hold Us Together (Feb'17) is chest-pounding, vacuous, top 40 shite. It's also as catchy as a frat boy's communal wank mitt. A guilty pleasure.
