Wilderado prepares for summer tour and new album

Tulsa, Oklahoma band Wilderado – Max Rainer (lead singer, guitarist), Tyler Wimpee (guitarist, vocals), Justin Kila (drums) – will be kicking off their US headline tour in June 7 in St. Louis, MO. 

Wilderado is also preparing to release their new studio album Talker on Sept. 20 via Bright Antenna Records. When asked about it, Rainer said, “I’m proud to say we made an album that feels like home and weathers who we are.”

The Americana group has already released the title track earlier this month and follows February's double single “Sometimes” and “Tomorrow,” and last fall's “In Between” – a single that saw several alternate versions, one featuring guest vocals from Matt Berninger of The National and one with a few fellow Oklahomans including folk/Americana artist Ken Pomeroy on vocal and guitar and Muskrat Jones (Colter Wall) on pedal steel.

In addition to their new studio album, last week Wilderado were announced as one of the featured artists on the official soundtrack for the new Twisters movie. For their contribution, Wilderado teamed up with Ken Pomeroy and James McAlister to cover R.E.M.'s "Wall Of Death." The film and soundtrack are due out July 19.

Since forming, the group has accrued 200+ million streams and 3+ million monthly listeners across platforms. The self-titled debut full-length released in October 2021 via Bright Antenna Records led to the late night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and AM TV Debut on CBS Saturday Morning. Spring 2023 had Wilderado touring with My Morning Jacket and releasing Wilderado Live – their first ever live LP featuring career spanning songs including “Surefire” and “Head Right” (two Top 10 Alt Radio hits from Wilderado) along with several older songs including “Wheat” and “Morning Light” as well as fan favorite “Rubble to Rubble.”
