Ascendent UK rock/pop quartet The Wild Things have just announced Afterglow, their ambitious forthcoming LP that tells the story of the residents of the fictional town of Valentine amidst a paranormal phenomenon. Co-produced by the band’s mentor and champion Pete Townshend, Afterglow is an exhilarating reinvention of the concept album and the fullest glimpse yet of the group’s unique creative outlook and seemingly limitless potential.
Already a critical favorite (they have been profiled by Kerrang! who declared them “your favorite new band”, Clash who said they are “blazing a trail across London, with their snappy, infectious live show,” and Rolling Stone who praised “their hook-laden riffs, tight melodies, and White’s stage presence”), The Wild Things have quickly become one of rock’s most exciting young acts with an electrifying live show and steady new releases over the course of 2024.
It’s been a busy 2024 for The Wild Things, whose Friends With Benefits EP featured appearances by Townshend, KISS’ Tommy Thayer, and drag legend Trixie Mattel. In true Rock n Roll fashion, the band celebrated the release by performing atop a bus traveling down Hollywood Boulevard in LA, before taking the stage at The Bourbon Room in Hollywood for a high-octane free performance in front of their adoring stateside fans.
The Wild Things are Sydney Rae White, Rob Kendrick, Pete Wheeler, and Cam White
