Upper Wilds: Rock Band in New York

About Upper Wilds

Upper Wilds is a rock/pop group operating in the noise-rock register, with an emerging presence on streaming platforms. In New York City they’ve appeared at Union Pool, sharing bills with Major Stars and Rose Thomas Bannister, including the lineup billed as “Major Stars • Upper Wilds • Rose Thomas Bannister.” Their background reads through the circuit: small-room stages, shared sets, and a steady accumulation of listeners. The music favors abrasion and momentum over polish, built for volume and close quarters.
