The music of Wild Bores is characterized by underlying rock and pop rhythms couching catchy melodies and lyrics that breathe new life into everyday experiences. John Whildin`s warm and honest vocal style connects the songs of Wild Bores to the listener, while providing a strong sense of familiarity. Evokes memories of The Vulgar Boatmen, Tom Petty, The Jayhawks, The Black Watch and for the more obscure minded, Rich Creamy Paint and Self. At times The Wild Bores sounds like the pure poppiest version of Pavement, if they were more direct, as the guitar lines are so spiffy and riffy. It has a rootsy pop core that will be appealing to Not Lamers. "Akin to the reflective, and hopelessly sentimental artistry of Paul Westerburg, Ray Davies, John Mellencamp, Fountains of Wayne, and the master of them all, Bruce Springsteen, Whidlin`s wistful tales of dreams and lovers gone awry makes for great pop rock `n` roll. Strong melodies coupled with tight, lean guitar driven arrangements which effortlessly balance acoustic and electric settings afford Wild Bores a timeless veneer. "Sometimes I was a baseball player / sometimes I was a soothsayer" from "My Home Town" is the stuff of great imagery when delivered by Whidlin. Jilted romantics will raise a beer to "You`re Killing Me." And be sure to check out the prog-rock motif to "Creepy Lives" -- how did he do that in a pop song!? Don`t let the name fool you, Wild Bores is a great record." Minor 7th. VERY Highly Recommended!
