o The Kansas City-based group, The Wilders, break new ground with their most ambitious studio recording to date, “Someone’s Got to Pay.” The album takes the story of a real-life murder trial and interweaves it with original country, old-time, and Americana songs about small town crazies and wrecked lives. The album is co-produced by Dirk Powell (Balfa Toujours) and Brendan Moreland (Rex Hobart & The Misery Boys).

o Many of the tracks are reminiscent of the band’s powerful live performances. But there is also remarkably introspective material. Clearly, The Wilders have matured as a band, and on this album they have passed a new creative milestone. The subject matter may be dark, but don’t let that fool you. The Wilders just got wilder, and the music more engaging then ever.

o The Wilders are playing 17 dates in Scotland (including a week at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe) and a date in Northern Ireland - as part of their European Tour 2008.
