“WILD POWWERS GETS UNDER YOUR “SKIN”. WITH IT’S NEW ALBUM, THE TRIO PROVES THAT IT’S THE ONLY MODERN SEATTLE GRUNGE BAND THAT MATTTERS.” – SEATTLE WEEKLY

 Like every good band ever, Wild Powwers have imbued a very individual sense of character into their music... The band has a deep regard for song structure, a great facility for building their songs. Slinking around with them like dance partners in a dimly lit bar and proceeding to pump their fists hard ... Starting them up like a car engine, giving them a second to warm up, and hitting the throttle with gusto…It goes a long way to exhibit the multitudes in which Wild Powwers are capable of showing: Humor and sadness, the spirit of their influences and the force of their own personality…The bitter with the sweet. That’s how some of the best things are made. – Martin Douglas KEXP

Last September, local trio Wild Powwers quietly released a booming, potent, and intelligent rock record. Doris Rising boasts heavy, crunching guitars and sinewy percussion, all expertly tempered by gorgeous, forceful vocals. The latter are mainly courtesy of guitar player Lara Hilgemann , but backup vocals throughout the record enhance everything they touch. Bass undercurrents are handled by Jordan Gomes, and the aforementioned drum work is that of the inimitable Lupe Flores. This is one of those records you put on and then don’t turn off until it’s weeks later and you realize it’s the only thing you’ve been listening to. It’s an addicting affair, and according to Flores, the band is already at work on a new one. Get in now so you can say, “I told you so.” GRANT BRISSEY (The Stranger)
