Wild Cub is a duo made up of songwriter-composer Keegan DeWitt and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Bullock[3] with supporting musicians drummer Dabney Morris, bassist Harry West, and keyboardist and synthetist Eric Wilson[1]. In August 2013, they had a UK #59 hit with Thunder Clatter.[2]

Formation

Keegan DeWitt was tiring of life in New York, and instead of accepting a promotion at his previous post, he opted instead to resign[1], moving to Nashville. From there, he spent a number of years writing film and documentary scores, one of which, Dance Party USA - a collaboration with Aaron Katz - was hailed by The New York Times as one of 2006's best films[4]. After a while, he encountered multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Bullock, who had previously collaborated with Stevie Wonder, playing strings on the soundtrack album to the 1984 film The Woman in Red[5]. After slightly longer, DeWitt and Bullock encountered drummer Dabney Morris, bassist Harry West, and synth/keys player Eric Wilson[1] and the line-up was completed.

Career

They released a debut LP in August (January UK release) of "Youth", a 13 song full length. Recorded in founding member Jeremy Bullock's house[1], the album received cross-Atlantic extol; Scott Kerr of AllMusic called it "jubilant, '80s-inspired synth pop and infectious"[1].

Wild Cub has been part of SXSW, Bonnaroo, CMJ and other prominent festivals and has received coverage from PASTE,[6] MTVHive.com,[7] Wall Street Journal,[8] SPIN,[9] IFC.com,[10] RCRDLBL,[11] The Line of Best Fit(UK),[12] Clash Music (UK)[13] and more.
