"What You Wanted" is the the fourth album from Wild Powwers- a dynamic trio from the dark, dank corners of a Seattle basement. After many years writing and touring together, Lara Hilgemann (guitar, vocals), Lupe Flores (drums, vocals) and Jordan Gomes (bass) have imbued a very individual sense of character into their hard-to-pigeonhole music, with a great facility for building outstanding songs. Known for their thunderous rhythm section and visceral intensity, on "What You Wanted" the band alternates the wild with the mild-- layering 70's songwriter melodics, bass-heavy rock, and harmonic vocal interplay with the gritty patina of 90's grunge angst. Hilgemann's ferocious vocal blasts are unleashed sporadically as intense apexes that are bolstered or tempered by Flores' more mellow flow. Produced by Sam Bell (R.E.M., Minus The Bear, Weezer, Taylor Swift) and mastered by Ed Brooks (Pearl Jam, Death Cab For Cutie) "What You Wanted" exhibits the multitudes Wild Powwers are capable of expressing. Humor and sadness, the spirit of their influences and the force of their own personality; the bitter with the sweet. From straight up punk rock to strangely beautiful psychedelia; cathartic angular rock intersecting with gorgeous, shimmering melancholy, and many melodic shades in between. The album is honest, raw, and relatable - it's "What You Wanted."

Press Quotes

The band wrangles their sound masterfully yet again here... Wild Powwers have never shied away from writing all-caps SONGS, and on their fourth full-length outing, they put their best foot forward in the realm of songcraft.

     —Martin Douglas, KEXP

The Seattle trio stun with raging lead single '...Sucks' that evokes an explosive meeting between Babes In Toyland and L7.

     —Jeff Elbel, Big Takeover Magazine

Wild Powwers can bring the hammer down with the best of them. The power trio hits with an attack that slams riot grrrl energy, power pop, and heavy-assed garage grunge together to exhilarating effect.

     —Tony Kay, Artist Home

Opener is a nice bit of sludgy grunge with some impressively throat-shredding vocals. The perfect soundtrack to be played really loud on long late-night drives.

     —Jimmy Alvarado, Razorcake Magazine

Wild Powwers for years have been carefully crafting their sound; What You Wanted signifies the band's strongest work to date.

     —Tommy Johnson, Off Shelf
