“..The group’s debut EP, You’re a Winner—released via CD and Internet download earlier this year—mixes crunchy electronic pop elements with lush live instrumentation and Sullivan’s crystalline, multitracked vocals. Considering its shared members, the group can’t help but remind of Eskimo & Sons, but—true to its name—Wild Ones is more playful and genre-defying. Early live shows have shown even more potential than the recordings: Wild Ones pulls off quiet numbers and full-on dance jams alike without the help of digital backing tracks, and it’s clear to the audience just how much fun this band is having..”

“You’re A Winner teems with careful pop melodies that are perfectly ironed down by Sullivan’s captivating coo. Synthy keys careen around the unbearably smooth beats sneaking from Andy Parker’s drum kit on the track “Forever Jam”, which presses your body to dance lest the song passes you by, while the naptime track “Pacific” takes you into a daydream of coastline sunrises. Overall, I might call it perfect. I can’t want to see what these Wild Ones have in store for us next.”
