Artist Spotlight: The Wild Family

Heading into the weekend with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight rearing to go! Today, we head over to the Windy City of Chicago, IL where we stumble across the sounds of The Wild Family. The band consists of brothers Jake and Zack Schweitzer, Graham Young, and Kevin Koreman. The band's sound is a melodic blend of folk rock conjured upon a strong lyrical framework that is a mixture of Fleet Foxes and The Avett Brothers with a strong musical state of mind vividly displayed upfront for all to marvel over and be raptured into at the same time. I came across these guys when I caught their Audiotree performance, and I was mesmerized by their stage presence and their ability to weave strong lyrical poetry within their music and make you feel like you're actually playing the role within the song of what is being sung, something that is almost a rarity in this day of age. A terrific unsigned act that is deserving of some love and praise right here in Boston. Some tracks to familiarize yourselves with include "White Shirt" and "Gold".

For more information on The Wild Family, head on over to their Facebook page located here to see and hear for yourself what they've got going on. You can follow the group on Twitter as well right here and stay in touch directly with the gentlemen on a one-on-one basis. The band's music is available for listening consumption right over here on their Bandcamp site and let yourself be taken in by these extremely talented musicians.
