Vilder! hail from the Belgian-Dutch border—the Limburg region—and they rose from the ashes of bands like On The Rampage, The Young Ones, The Agitators, and The Pruttles. This gives Vilder! deep roots and serious musical confidence: these aren’t rookies; they are seasoned veterans who went all in.
From the very first riff, it’s clear that Vilder! isn’t giving anyone time to catch their breath. Their new self-titled record, Vilder!, released on Contra Records, is an album that grabs you by the throat and drags you into the pit like an old mate after 10 beers.
The band delivers straight-up, sharp Oi! Punk with an aggressive edge, but there’s enough inherent character to keep this from being just another record for the usual suspects. It sounds exactly how the cover looks—knives, hammers, blood, and concrete. The rawness is completely natural, zero pose. Sharp guitars, the drums run like a steam engine, and the vocals have that perfect combination of anger and determination that makes a great street band.
Vilder! stick to the tradition of hard, unpolished punk and they have choruses catchy enough to get your foot tapping during the first listen. Even though it’s their debut, they sound self-assured and clearly know what their sound should be.
Vilder! is a band for people who want raw, direct onslaughts with zero compromises. For people who like their punk to sound like a tool for tearing down walls. If your idea of fun—besides choosing the right polo shirt and alphabetizing your record collection—also includes downing 12 beers and waking up wondering where the hell you scraped the knuckles on your right hand and whose blood that is, Vilder! will fit you like a glove.
This is the ideal soundtrack for evening streets, the pub, and those late-night returns home when you need something to keep you moving.
Vilder! are here—Loud, Angry, and Aggressive. What the hell are you looking at..?
Before I finished writing the article, the band had already broken up during a live broadcast, so get yourself an album full of noise and aggression, because you won’t hear them anywhere else.
