Since its formation in 2010, Wild Ones has insisted on operating as a DIY collective. The band recorded and mixed its debut as a group (with help from engineer David Pollock). Sometimes considering each members� opinion meant endless revisits and tweaks to the album�s tracks. The process was time-consuming, but it was also worth it.

�That was a reaction to the bands we had been in before,� says lead vocalist Danielle Sullivan. �This band was born out of our desire to have a democratic, all-inclusive music-making process.�

Keep It Safe, the album that finally emerged after well over a year of gestation, is bigger than the sum of its meticulously gathered parts. Even now, the band�s sound continues to evolve.

Wild Ones� members come from vastly disparate musical backgrounds�guitarist Nick Vicario was a Portland punk icon long before he turned 18; bassist Max Stein is a classical composer�and all of their experiences inform pop music that is influenced by everything from German techno to American R&B. These are sounds that don�t usually come packaged together, but in the able hands of Wild Ones, they seem like a perfectly natural fit.
