This Wild Life Is Now Country 2026-06-30 by OverSlyZed91 | 16 Comments | Acoustic Pop-Punk duo This Wild Life announced that they will write and play country music from now on.
The official statement goes like this :
"A message from Kevin and Anthony:
Five albums, nearly a thousand shows across dozens of countries. We've spent over a decade creating music we love and performing them.
We've worked passionately and tirelessly, but we've also been incredibly lucky to have a fanbase that has lifted us up on their shoulders.
You've given us a long leash to push ourselves creatively, never feeling like we have to stay in any musical box. Now we're going to see just how long that leash really is.
For the last three years, we've been quietly writing andr ecording our first full-band country record. We know this may come as a surprise to fans who discovered us through Warped Tour and the scene.
We could have comfortably stayed the course, celebrated album anniversaries, and kept writing acoustic songs. But the passion that fueled those records has changed, and without that spark, there was no reason to keep making them.
All we ask is that you approach these songs with an open mind. If they're not for you, we understand. But our favorite records have always been the ones that revealed themselves over time-the albums that stay with you for life.
This journey began almost by accident. Ten years ago we stumbled into a Jason Isbell set at Summerfest simply because there were seats in the shade. Little did we know we'd discover one of our favorite songwriters of all time that would send us down a rabbit hole of a genre we had only casually heard. We fell in love with music all over again.
That discovery eventually led Anthony to the pedal steel guitar. Watching him dedicate himself to mastering such a difficult instrument reignited something in both of us. It sparked the most inspired songwriting we've ever experienced. We've never written more, never been more excited to pick up our guitars, and it genuinely feels like we're beginning a new chapter.
With no label and no manager, we rely entirely on the people who have carried us this far. We hope you'll come with us again.
New songs. New videos. New tours."

The last 2 albums sucked very fucking hard, so this possibly can't be any worse.

I don't know who this artist is, but I can fairly confidently assume when they say "country" they're referring to the faux-country radio pop money-grab version of "country" - not the real thing.

My first thought, too. But if you're going to ape anyone, Isbell ain't a bad place to start.

Their new single sounds about as country as Jelly Roll. Not terrible I suppose but not what I think of first, second or fifth when I think country.
| | |
Okay, they sound exactly the same as before...just with drums.
| | |
I appreciate the heartfelt rationale I guess it's better than ditching their fan base like most bands do. But still - just make a fucking side project

"this dirt life"
there i fixed it

Huh, I actually saw these guys live back in 2019 supporting Ryan Key on his solo tour.
If I remember correctly they were hanging in the lobby afterward and said a quick hello to everyone who came to speak to them, seemed like nice dudes.
| | |
never listened to them much, but if Isbell is their biggest influence in the country then it's reasonable to assume they're moving that direction and not radio pop country garbage. could be decent. who knows
| | |
I mean their last album has 8 songs and one of them is a Blink cover. They just didn't give a shit anymore.
| | |
Dude who I sat next to at my first job out of college is brothers with the guitarist/ drummer lol

Got this band mixed up with Good Old War who have supported as Anthony Green's backing band for various albums and thought for a moment this could be good considering how high caliber Green's solo album instrumentals have been

Mehh I can't stand A. Green
