"The Wild Deer capture the essence of what pure Rock and Roll is about. Great depth and lyrics to this awesome first album. Its amazing this band hasn't been discovered yet. EVERY song on this CD is awesome. Each song grows on you the more you listen to it. Not to be missed are the backing vocals and some great guitar riffs and solos. A MUST!!!!

THE WILD DEER'S DEBUT CD "LIVE FREE" IS HERE AND AVAILABLE AT CD BABY
THE WILD DEER: Live Free
The WILD DEER are a new band of old souls with an in-your-face honest, hardworking rock & roll sound, reverberating with the emotion and passion of the Beatles, the Clash, Paul Weller, and the Rolling Stones.
From New York Daily News "Rush and Molloy" gossip pages, Tuesday May 30 2007-
"Singer-songwriter Ed Fingerling got an instant payback from the karma credit bureau when his band, the Wild Deer, played for the Marines for Fleet Week in Times Square. Director Charles Evered, who was shooting scenes with actor Ethan Peck (grandson of Gregory) nearby, was entranced by the music and decided to include it in his movie, Adopt a Sailor."
You can also read it on the NY Daily News site here.
THE WILD DEER are led by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Ed Fingerling, who honed his rock songwriting skills as a member of late 1990s NYC pop/punk/roots group Oral Groove, the early 00s NYC rock band Ultrafine, and a solo era (his 2003 eponymous solo release is available on itunes).
