I got an email from Joe Queer a few weeks ago regarding a band that he was recording at his studio in Atlanta. In all these years, Joe has never tried to solicit a band for asian man, so I was interested in hearing what got him so excited. The band of interest is called THE WILD and true to his recommendation, the record he recorded was amazing. So yes, we will be putting out the new record for THE WILD from Atlanta, GA.. The album is called "SET OURSELVES FREE" and was recorded on 2" tape. 100% analog, no digital pro tools, etc.. This record is the most real sounding collection of songs I've heard in quite some time. Mr. Jeff Rosenstock produced the album and lent some of his musical talents in the form of keys. Joe engineered and lent some rippin' guitar leads.

Instead of giving a list of influences and comparisons, why don't you take a listen at myspace.com/thewildatl
