Beginning today, The Wild will embark on a three-week tour of the U.S., covering most of the Southeast and parts of the East Coast. Along the way the quintet will share the stage with The Taxpayers, as well as legendary punk band The Queers for a week and a half’s worth of shows. Also noteworthy is the New Year’s Eve show in The Wild’s hometown of Atlanta with Against Me!, Fake Problems, Ninja Gun and Franz Nicolay.
The Wild is touring in support of its 2011 releases, including A Collection and a Split 7″ with Pittsburgh friends Run, Forever. The former was released on CD by Asian Man Records and compiles all of the band’s out-of-print singles, EPs, live songs and split releases. You can grab a copy of the record from the label here. The latter is limited to 500 and was pressed on purple, green and black vinyl by Solidarity Recordings. Grab that one here.
As an added bonus, both albums are available as free / donation-based downloads. Quote Unquote Records released the mp3 version of A Collection here, while you can download the songs from the split 7″ from the good folks at If You Make It.
Stay tuned for more news regarding The Wild’s 2012 touring plans, as well as information about the band’s next full-length, which they’ve been writing for during the last couple months.
