"Someone’s Got to Pay"

Sounds Like"...a frantic combination of old-timey string band and vintage honky tonk music with a lot of joyful style and high energy... Their playing was like an old Buick sliding around a sharp mountain on two wheels. These guys must be seen to be believed." -- freighttrainboogie.com

"From afar, they resemble a collection of country-themed bobblehead dolls gathered around the microphone, furiously pounding out the honky-tonk tunes." -- No Depression

"Known for a foot-stomping, fiddle-shredding live show, this Kansas City quartet delivers quite the good time on its latest." -- Country Standard Time

"This quintessential old time acoustic quartet celebrates all that was once right and good about country music." -- Patchchord.com

"Listen, folks, this is the single best dang twang disc I've heard all year..." -- Joe Sixpack's Hillbilly Record Riot, slipcue.com

"The Wilders are unstoppable. When a band generates this kind of juice without plugging in, they can set up anywhere and incite a crowd to riot. These cats throw down, hard." -- puremusic.com

WE ARE CELEBRATING HANK WILLIAMS SR's 85th BIRTHDAY by releasing the 1st quarter of our only-available-thru-myspace-album 'FOLK YOU'. it's FREE! just go to our page & download or upload or whatever the kids are doing these days.

we'll leave these tracks out there for a couple weeks or so, then put out the next quarter of the album. upon the release of the 4th 1/4, we will post the cover art for y'all.

all our tracks were done on the first take just like the good ol days when these songs were first being recorded back in the '20s & '30s, of course we've added our own flavor to these folk-traditionals & added a few electric instruments here & there.

anywho, hope y'all enjoy & spread the love of the 2timin' bastards.
HAPPY HANK DAY

Dear Wilders,

The legendary musical hero, Horatio Lee Jenkins, brought us such inspirational masterpieces as "DRUNKER THAN SATAN", "OH SH!T I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD", and "GIRL, THIS BED IS TOO BIG WITHOUT ALL 12 OF YOU".

Horatio, the WORLD'S MOST POTENT HETEROSEXUAL, now brings us a new uplifting anthem of hope, acceptance, and unconditional Christian love:

"IT'S OKAY TO BE GAY"
