Golden Robot Records [Release Date 12.04.24]
US band, Wildstreet, took note of music’s direction of travel (there’s no money in standing still) some years ago and have toured incessantly ever since… frequent appearances at SXSW,and M3 Rock Festival, plus 5 consecutive years at Rocklahoma. And relentless intercontinental touring. Today Europe, tomorrow the world.
If you’ve got the stamina for that, it’s a win/win. You earn a bit of money and you discover which songs work best, refining and reshaping your material with each new performance.
Musically, they’ve gone some way to resurrecting the dark side of Glam Rock that took form on the USA’s Sunset Strip in the eighties.
Listening to ‘Heroes’, a taster of their new EP, Wildstreet III, its densely packed production sounds immense – the undeniable heaviness of their live sound has percolated down into the studio. The song’s thin, but sturdy melody creates just enough space for Wrath Star’s razoring axework, and Eric Jayk’s gravel throated howl.
More soon, hopefully. ***1/2
