Interview with Witt of THE WILD on AMP Magazine

Atlanta has one of the biggest music scenes going right now, which is great if you’re a hip-hop, rap, or R&B artist. If you happen to be in a folk punk band, however, the spotlight is just a little bit dimmer (like your buddy holding a flashlight while you play kind of dimmer).

Regardless, if you do a little digging you’ll find this ever so small and tight subgenre of talented bands plugging away and creating some tremendous songs. Among the best of this group is The Wild, a musical collective that’s not afraid to toss in a tambourine or banjo every now and then.

Through word of mouth, pop punk legend Joe Queer heard about the band and even offered to produce their last record. The Wild’s latest effort, the 14-song aptly titled album A Collection, includes hard-to-find and out-of-print singles, EPs, splits and a few live tracks.

Singer/guitarist/harmonica(ist?) Witt Wisebram spoke recently about the band, their connection to Mr. Queer and playing folk punk rock in Atlanta.
