Wilderado

Tulsa, OK, indie-rock trio Wilderado, newest single “Head Right” is from the band’s forthcoming self-titled debut album due out October 15th via Bright Antenna.

Now based in Los Angeles, lead singer Maxim Helmerich said, “Towards the end of 2018 and all throughout 2019 we were constantly on the road. In between tours I was flying to different places, meeting producers, working on songs, and trying to figure out what it was we were going to do next. Most of the time I would be alone, working with someone I’d never met and going back to hotel rooms where I would usually spin out and wonder what I was doing. The truth is I didn’t know what the process of writing with other people was like and felt like I needed to do it before I could say it was something that wasn’t for me, or for us. Somewhere in the spring of ’19 we were all in Nashville hanging out with a guy named Angelo talking about how sometimes the best way to ruin a song, life, or anything really, is to take it too seriously. That afternoon we wrote ‘Head Right.’ It was the first time in forever we had written a song, lyrics, and everything, all together. We’re happy to share it with you now as it represents a turning point for us as a band, a return to the basics and the feeling of writing music while not caring about much at all." 

"Head Right" is described as a confident and boisterous slice of rock n’ roll which builds on what the band does best – combining soaring melodies with lush three-part harmonies. 

Wilderado consists of Max Rainer (vovals/guitar), Justin Kila (drums), and Tyler Wimpee (guitar). The band formed in the California mountains in 2015, Wilderado has since accrued more than 70 million streams across platforms and 3 million monthly listeners. With several Eps beginning in 2016, the band has built a passionate fan base through years of consistent touring, including main stage festival performances at Lollapalooza, BottleRock, Austin City Limits and more.
