Derry band Wyldling

Ìý

With a new video for their track 'Siren' having just hit the interwebs, we thought it would be perfect timing to catch up with Derry four-piece electro-rock outfit Wylding to discover all kinds of factoids about the band in this week's edition of The Making Of:Ìý

(Glenn Rosborough)ÌýThe first record i bought wasÌýLenny KravitzÌý'Greatest Hits'.

(David Kirby) The last record I boughtÌýwas 'Epicloud' by the . The guy's a genius!

(Phil Curran)ÌýThe one gig that made me want to be in a bandÌýwasÌýSuch AsÌýin the Nucleus.

Ìý

(Jilly St John) One musician that inspired me to start performing?ÌýGawd there have been so many over the years, bearing in mind I witnessed the 80's. I love watching live shows in general especially Prince, Queen, Black Sabbath, Nirvana to name a couple, but I have to say I've always been drawn to strong female figures from a young age. Artists like Kate Bush, Patti Smith, Blondie, Madonna, and in my late teens No Doubt, Juliette Lewis. My list is endless. Performance has always just been there since I could walk and string a sentence together.Ìý

(Band as a Whole) The last band we all watched together was the freakin' fantastic collective that isÌýÌýin the Playhouse, Portrush. Those guys are soo much fun! We ska'd til we couldn't anymore!!Ìý

(JSJ) Albums that influenced our recent material? Again a plethora for me, Everything to date has been influenced by bits of everything I like, I might hear a sound in one song or a particular rhythm of syllables I like in another. At the moment it's very much beenÌýQOTSA 'Lullabies To Paralyze', NewYoung Pony Club 'The Optimist',ÌýJuliette & The Licks 'Four On The Floor',ÌýSleighbellsÌýin general,ÌýThe Dead Weather "Whorehound", I could go on!

(GR) -ÌýPrince, everything from "Controversy" to the symbol album;ÌýBe Your Own PetÌý"Adventure";KOAN SoundÌý"The Adventures Of Mr Fox".Ìý

(Band as a Whole)ÌýWe consistently bond overÌýPhil CollinsÌýand his epic greatest hits! Kirby's Dad always kindly leaves it in the CD player in the car when we're gigging! Nothing bonds a band more than air-drumming and 80's fist explosions ;)




(GR) We'd happily to share a stage every night withÌý, they paid us in booze for a gig one night, automatic legend status.ÌýÌýas well, there's a real sense of care and attention to their more personal songs that shines through the already awesome stage show, they remind me ofÌý. PlusÌýRobocop'sÌýa boss.Ìý

(PC)ÌýÌýorÌý.Ìý

(DK)ÌýLittle Bear, all day every day. I could listen to those lads forever, every time I play with them I get just get blown away by the sheer musicality of them all.

(JSJ)ÌýThe boys have it covered with many of the acts I enjoy at the minute in NI for sure and I'd be more than happy to share the stage with them all, so I'll addÌýÌýto that list. Those guys blow me away with their energy and musicality and they are soo lovely too. Oh and definitelyÌýMentalÌýDeficiency. I'd say that'd be interesting times filled with lulz! There's so much talent on our scene currently, I'd love to gig with all of them!

(GR) If we could have anyone join our band it would beÌýLang Lang, probably the most famous and best pianist of our time. If we were ever to get someone in on keys, and we could literally pick anyone, you may as well go for the top, though 'Siren'Ìýwould be a bit of a step down from Bach for him!

(DK) The sax player fromÌýGeorge Michael'sÌý'Careless Whisper', have him throw sax solo's everywhere letting everyone know who's boss!


(JSJ)ÌýWell personally I'd love to share the stage withÌýPrinceÌýorÌýGwen, but I quite like our lil foursome, would be weird if someone else joined full time. Besides these three lads are more than a handful for me already! lolÌý

(Band as a Whole)ÌýThe first cover version we performed was 'Secret'ÌýbyÌýMissy HigginsÌýand the last was 'Video Games' byLana Del ReyÌýat an acoustic night.Ìý

(JSJ)ÌýA guilty pleasure? Hmm, not sure many will be surprised but I just adore theÌýGaga.Ìý

(DK)ÌýKaty Perry, but only her album under her real name 'Katy Hudson' its mega funky. Brass sections and piano's everywhere. How she went wrong now I don't know.Ìý
