We're fans of Wild Cub's sound - their hard, clean electronic music and Keegan DeWitt's husky soulful vocals are a good combination. They've really taken off in the last year, from their inception in Nashville, to a well-received performance at Bonnaroo, to being celebrated all over the world and drawing comparisons to electro-rock predecessors like New Order. From a duo, they've grown into a five-piece: Keegan DeWitt (vocals/guitar), Jeremy Bullock (guitar/synths), Dabney Morris (drums), Harry West (bass), and Eric Wilson (keys/synths).
Their latest single is "Blacktide", and they invite you to listen and download it, in anticipation of a followup to last year's Youth (WYMA review here). Here's "Blacktide":
