“[‘When I Get Older’] is catchy and energetic, with a sound that bears similarities to that of Julian Casablancas, fun., or Of Monsters and Men—all manufacturers of instantly recognizable pop hooks.” – InterviewMagazine.com
“Wild Party is gaining a lot of alt-rock buzz and rightfully so. “ – Huffington Post
“Big-time power pop from an upcoming album, ‘Phantom Pop,’” – Red Bull USA
Indie-rock band Wild Party are thrilled to stream their forthcoming, debut album Phantom Pop (out October 7th via Old Friend Records) exclusively on Pandora.
Sugary synths melodies, slick rock guitar riffs, and upbeat drum rhythms help the band to create their power-pop sound on Phantom Pop. Album tracks like “Take My Advice,” the keyboard driven “Outright,” the breezy elements of soul-rock on “Chasin’ Honey,” and “When I Get Older,” and the indie-pop vibe on “Violet” solidifies Wild Party has created an LP full of radio hits. Bands such as the Killers, the Strokes, Rooney and Two Door Cinema Club are certainly touchstones—as are Phoenix and the Format, two favorites of frontman Lincoln Kreifels—although Wild Party aren’t beholden to any one influence or genre.
“We want to write fun, happy songs that people can dance to, with lyrics that people can relate to,” Kreifels says. “We really appreciate all types of music—we just want to make uplifting music, whether it’s pop-rock, power-pop or indie or folk. We just want people to smile while they’re listening to our music. That’s the main thing.”
Wild Party will be supporting Bear Hands, Fitz and the Tantrums and Catfish & The Bottlemenin October, along with headlining shows in select cities.
Wild Party is Lincoln Kreifels, Ethan Kaufmann, Lucas Hughes, and Cary LaScala.
