Look no farther! Your prayers have been answered! The Wild High are here!
The sound is a mash up of roots rock, country, rock n roll, and a whole lot of good times ready to liven up any location.
The band started as the brainchild of Jon Harvey (former lead vocalist/songwriter for Canadian rockers Monster Truck), who recruited a tailor made cast of players from the Southern Ontario area, and formed a country rock juggernaut. A real “swamp thing” if I may.
The rest of the gang are Myke Penney (The Jailbirds) guitar and vocals, Pete Antoniou (Revive The Rose) banjo and vocals, Zander Lamothe (The Zilis) drums and vocals, and Ryan Ethier on bass guitar and vocals.
The music speaks for itself. It’s alive. Full of joy, passion, collaboration, and a vibe that is so contagious, it’s almost impossible not to sing along. When it comes The Wild High’s songs, the ballads are soulful, and the rockers would make even the meanest naysayer tap their feet.
Easy music without a care in the world.
The band’s first single “Luke And Lee” was released last year to much praise. It’s a down and dirty rocker about Jon’s childhood friends getting into trouble. It takes nods from the classic 70s productions we know and love but retains a modern element unique to today.
The second single “I Wanna Get Paid”, is a huge Leon Russell type tune about having hope even in the face of absolute disparity. It also utilizes a modern and vintage tonal palette to create something uniquely theirs. From the slide guitars to the massive chorus’, TWH has it covered.
So come along on the ride with The Wild High. I dare ya. It’s guaranteed to be a good one.
