WILD SIDE || HARDCORE FOR THE SUPERCHARGED

Feb 24

Formed in 2014, and almost a decade later now, Wild Side has never seized to be underwhelming. The talent and energy is unmatchable. Made up of four individuals who are incredibly talented musicians, this band is the epitome of what it means to be even better together.

With a clear influence of 80s hardcore, heavy metal and rock, this Ontario Hardcore band has done nothing but make our province proud and we are very excited to see what the future holds for them. Who the hell is wild side? Well, we had the privilege of asking some questions and finding that out.

“WE WILL PLAY WITH ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. SHOUTOUT TO ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE MAKING GOOD MUSIC”

WHAT DOES THE NAME “WILD SIDE” MEAN?

Mötley Crü song of the same name.

FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN’T HEARD OF YOU BEFORE HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BAND?

They have to decide for themselves. Words can’t explain. It has to be seen and heard to be understood.

WHAT ARE YOUR MAJOR INFLUENCES?

A lot of bands/artists. Warzone, Underdog, Token Entry, Metallica, Guns ’N Roses, Righteous Jams, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, etc.

Hardcore + Hair-Metal + Rap + Rock ’N’ Roll = Wild Side

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHOW YOU’VE PLAYED SO FAR?

Hard to pick.. A lot of ties. We did a show at a motel in Las Vegas with Diztort and Mil Spec, anything at Shibgb’s in Toronto, ICP in Barrie, LP record release at Velvet Underground, Sound And Fury 2019. Atlanta with Magnitude and One step closer. Each show is everything you could wish for.

WHAT’S COMING UP FOR THE BAND THIS YEAR?

New music, singles and a record I think. Some weekends and small tours in USA and some stuff in Europe I think. Just keep building the hardcore music machine.
