The Penniless Wild

Hailing all the way from Hartford, CT The Penniless Wild capture lightning in a bottle. A fine blend of folk and rock, this five piece band does an outstanding job at consistently capturing a heartfelt mood. Each of their songs wrap you in a velvety warm ambiance, as every second is positively dripping with passion. I feel so pulled into their music as it resonates in a similar way to drinking a nice bourbon. Each draw of their sound has that mellow spice which sets my mind at ease.

Even though they only have five officially released tracks, The Penniless Wild show promise to rub shoulders with bands like Kings of Leon and The Avett Brothers. Seriously, just from their first EP, “Cardboard Sheets”, they have already shown that they are on to something that is truly special. This being a sound that many bands strive to make, but fail to execute on. The Penniless Wild deliver that sound and more.

The Penniless Wild have grown to excite me. When I listen to Rock Music, my brain wants to hear the loudest and crunchiest sound possible. However, when I slow it down and take a breath, I find exactly where The Penniless Wild fit into my life. Sip on the music, and appreciate it. You won’t be disappointed if you stop to savor it. - Robert Mayper (Taste Music)

The Penniless Wild – “Seat Back”

The raspy lead vocal on this track is absolutely stunning. I was floored from first listen and continue to be impressed. I was expecting this style of vocal to lead to a stereotypical hard rock presentation, but it actual evolves in more of an atmospheric psych rock indie gem. I really appreciate how the production doesn’t outshine the quality of the lead. Whatever you’re expecting this song to be… it isn’t. I love that. - Ear To The Ground Music
