The Wilderness

The Wilderness is what you get when six chosen brothers from Kingston, ON spend nine years driving 100,000 miles for nothing but the love of rock n’ roll. Sometimes, you get songs like therapy sessions, oversharing to strangers about your weird relationship with your dad and how you thought you'd be young forever. Other times, you get your mum's favourite would-be arena band crammed into your hometown's sweatiest dive bar on a Tuesday night with rent due in the morning. No matter what, you get the hardest-working, harmony-belting, saxophone-growling, cowboy-chord-strumming, tambourine throwing small-town rock n’ roll band your friends have probably never heard of, in it for the long haul from 2015 - forever
