Wildwood Music Company
By
Here we have another artist, Wildwood Music Co., submitted by Jon over at LikeZEBRA.
Their Facebook Page Info reads like this:
A little bit of blues, rock n roll, folk, and indie, Wildwood Music Co. has been about fifteen years in the making. Noah Berberea and James (Jimbo) McKinnon have been singing and playing music together since 1996.
Born and raised in Southern California (former members of the band Ferona Vei, A Streetcar Murder), the pair met at 16 and quickly discovered that they both had music in common, and people liked it when they played together. They spent a long time playing together in various projects, in Los Angeles and San Francisco, but ended up back together in Ventura, California, writing music with an ocean view.
The two have taken back to their roots in music, drawing from the music that inspired them growing up and what pouring in their ears today. Naming the band Wildwood Music Company to dedicate it to the memory of a wonderful friend, and the love energy that comes from the coast of California.
Their EP, comprised of just four songs (‘Little Boy Boo’ [embedded below], ‘Race’, ‘Stoned and Fidgety’, and ‘Sunset’), shows a lot of promise and sounds very crisp and clean. If I sound surprised by that, it’s simply because a lot of first recordings by bands sound like they were recorded in someone’s closet…through a coffee can.
‘Race’ actually sounds a lot like ‘Stay Tonight’ song by Eagle Eye Cherry at the very beginning. Like the previous song (‘Little Boy Boo’), it’s another uptempo rocker.
Likewise, ‘Sunset’ sounds like a track that a crossover country/rock artist could pull off (think Keith Urban or even Rascal Flatts).
These guys definitely have a lot of potential; and if they get some more songs under their belts they could fit well as an opening act for any of the bands listed below.
If they have more songs like these four up their sleeves, I wish this would have been a full-length album rather than just an EP.
