WILDERADO
Formed in the California mountains, but originally hailing from Tulsa, OK, Wilderado has been steadily building a passionate fan base and defining who they are since 2015. When they first came together, Maxim Rainer (lead vocals, guitar), Tyler Wimpee (guitar, vocals) and Justin Kila (drums) spent a summer in Latigo Canyon, a secluded part of Malibu, with longtime Sufjan Stevens collaborator James McAlister, immersing themselves in writing and recording. Those songs went on to form early EP releases with tastemaker indie labels IAMSOUND and national anthem, which garnered more than 130 million streams, but more crucially provided the backbone to years of touring. Following initial recording sessions at their one-time home and creative space named “The Misty Shrub”(the title of the first EP) in Latigo Canyon (the title of the second EP), the band returned to Tulsa to base themselves in their hometown. Since then, they’ve crisscrossed the USA a half dozen times playing with artists as diverse as asKings of Leon, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie, Mt. Joy, and Rainbow KittenSurprise, and have performed on the main stage at such festivals as Lollapalooza, Bottlerock and AustinCity Limits. Some time off from the road in 2020 meant that the band was able to focus on completing their debut eponymous LP. Working with producers and friends James McAlister (The National, Sufjan Stevens, TaylorSwift), Chad Copelin (Broncho, LANY), and Angelo Petraglia (Kings of Leon) the debut record was released in the fall of 2021 via Bright AntennaRecords. Single 'Head Right’ shows the ambition and intent of the band on the up. With this single and their TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the band achieved their first Top 10 hit on alternative radio, reaching the mark after an incredible 26 weeks on the chart. A 6-week long totally sold-out US tour marked the start of 2022 and the return to the road, with the UK and Irish dates supporting alt-Jand a full year of touring in support of the record on the horizon.
HUSBANDS
Husbands plays landlocked beach pop that sidequests Krautrock, garage rock, and tropicalia.
OKC-based songwriters Danny Davis and Wil Norton got their start directing a Godzilla
musical at their college and then began sharing snippets of lofi grunge pop ideas that came
together in their first album, "Golden Year." This album caught local label Clerestory AV's
attention, who assisted Husbands release its first vinyl LP, "After the Gold Rush Party," on an
imprint label, Cowboy 2.0 Records. "After the Gold Rush Party" was featured on NPR's Heavy
Rotation and Spotify's New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, and Feel-Good Indie Rock playlists. Past
performances included an OKC release show that drew 550 attendees and a stint opening for
Smash Mouth (what Wil and Danny both likely consider their finest moment as a band). Pre-
COVID, Husbands was slated to play bills at SXSW, Treefort Music Fest, Norman Music
Festival, and a New York City release show at Baby's All Right.
Not to be deterred, Danny and Wil got back to songwriting and put together their third LP,
"Full-on Monet," released in January '22. Their single, "Must be a Cop," released June 6,
2021, has been featured on Spotify's All New Indie, Today's Indie Rock, and Grade A playlists
(among other editorial playlists), and has received coverage from prominent bloggers
including David Dean Burkhart, BIRP!, and Indie Shuffle.
