The Wildes are an Australian country/rock and roll band, formed in 2008.

The sound has been compared to artists such as The Bad Seeds, The Waterboys, Steve Earle and Tom Waits. The songs have a strong story-telling element.

The album is due for release in the UK and USA later in 09.

The current line-up includes Lachlan Bryan (lead singer, guitar), Mat Duniam (drums), Shaun Ryan (bass) and Andrew Wrigglesworth (lead guitar).
