Wild are a four-piece rock group based in London, UK. They should nto be confused with Wild, who were a classical female group, and altogether far nicer to look at.

History
The band started in the late 1980s playing around London, and was made up of experienced musicians who had been in a variety of other bands, including the Dazzlers, Jane Smith, Hector's House, Veyn, Cyd Spliff & the Roll-Ups to name but a few.

Their easy-going style and dedication mad ehtem one of the hardest working bands around, and were often first-call names for sessions for other bands recordings. The lure of fame soon took its toll on the diminuitive guitarist, and he became a recluse living in a former world war two fortification on the island of Jersey. When eventually located several years later by the band's manager, he immediately wanted to get back to playing, and the new Wild was initiated.

Today Wild play a range of different genres on their debut album titled simply "Wild unleashed", and their music ranged from blues rock to hard rock. Their mix of experience and excellent musicianship has carved them a unique place in the pantheon of rock bands playing covers in pubs in London.

Wild made their debut in 1989 playing at the Orange Club in London. After a blistering set lasting some 30-minutes (and recorded for posterity on their album "WILD - the Orange concert". They were voted *best band wearing a t-shirt* on the night

The band also toured the London suburbs before the eccentric drummer decided to complete his doctoral thesis and follow-up the offer of a full professorship at University College London.
