Sound Stage: Wild Ones

American dreampop from Portland with haunting lyrics and melodies to get you dancing.

Light yet soulful vocals by Danielle Sullivan lead the way for this alt rock band. Unlike a lot of cookie-cutter bands, the lyrics of Wild Ones consistently juxtapose the uplifting melodies in a way that makes you believe and emote as the listener. I find their songs have that rare combination of being haunting while still making me want to groove on the dance floor.
