Wild Cub is a Nashville-based[1] quintet[2] led by songwriter-composer Keegan DeWitt and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Bullock;[1] its supporting members are drummer Dabney Morris, bassist Harry West, and keyboardist and synthetist Eric Wilson.[2] Their "Thunder Clatter" was a UK #59 hit In August 2013[3]
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,[2] 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.[5] After a while, he encountered multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Bullock, drummer Dabney Morris, bassist Harry West, and synth/keys player Eric Wilson[2] 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,[2] the album received cross-Atlantic extol; Scott Kerr of AllMusic called it "jubilant, '80s-inspired synth pop and infectious".[2] The title track, Thunder Clatter, received rave reviews but did not chart until August 2013, after it was used in a Bose commercial;[2] the song ended up charting at #59 on the UK Singles Chart.[3]
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.
