"There is a tightness and togetherness in experienced musicians that just can’t be replaced with fancy gear or studio tricks, and it’s obvious that this relatively new band has been writing and practicing together diligently. Vocalist/guitarist Dan Cole (formerly of Forever Changed) and lead guitarist Kevin Woerner (twothirtyeight) traded refreshingly interesting guitar riffs, with Cole switching to keyboard for several of the softer songs. Bass and keys player Jonathan Young (The Myriad) held the low end with drummer Jon Wood (Drypoint), grounding the band’s emotional and dramatic songs with a powerful rhythm section." - Rain City Ambience, Seattle"

While the band set sail with its shimmering guitar-pop debut "The Honeymoon Stagecoach" in 2013, their sophomore album, "Capsize," steers a course into grittier territory. "Capsize" is a collection of songs which showcases a fresh artistic trajectory, and follows our collective struggle to accept the passage of time and identify the voices in our lives that are worth listening to. And it’s immediately evident as anthemic opener “Just To Be With You” channels the heart racing spirit of Muse, with a riff-heavy synth-forward energy that rips through the whole record. Each song to be a unique statement, drawing fluidly from each member’s influences. This comes across clearly in the Mew-inspired “Tongues,” combining jangly telecaster riffs and dirty-as-hell basslines. Remnants of early Jimmy Eat World shine through both on the album’s title track, “Capsize,” and “Time’s Not Long,” while “I’m an Island” features lush textures and ethereal vocals akin to The Cure or Death Cab for Cutie. The longing for time to connect and create before our story is over flows through us all. "Capsize" invites us to embrace that reality, and discover our own ways to stay afloat.

Their style sitting largely within indie rock with a splash of folk, Willder was formed in 2016 by guitarist and singer Knox Burnett alongside bassist Alex Buck, guitarist Brian Hibbard, and drummer David Stuart. Amidst the recording of their debut 'EP 1' they recruited guitarist and pedal steel player Keith Luengen as a permanent member of the band. Then, Keith broke his finger and Mark Isakson filled in for a show and we didn’t want him to leave so he stayed...forever. Based out of Seattle, WA the six members of Willder are hard at work writing their next batch of songs.
