Contents

Wilderado's Max Rainer and Tyler Wimpee met through mutual friends in college and started writing songs together in their fifth year after most of their friends had left. They went on a 30-concert tour with Flipturn in 2022, and expanded the tour to include bands Toledo and Michigander.

In 2016, the band released its first EP, Misty Shrub. [8] On July 22, 2016, the band released its second EP, Latigo, which amassed over 18 million streams on Spotify. [9] On the back of Latigo, Wilderado spent the next year touring with acts such as Band of Horses, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Lindsey Buckingham, and Judah & The Lion. [10]

In 2018, Wilderado released its third EP, Favors, to critical and fan acclaim. [7] In July 2019, Wilderado released the single Surefire. The song was inspired by the poem “A Gradual Canticle for Augustine” by Tabitha King. [11] Surefire was named one of the "5 Songs You Need to Hear Right Now" by Sirius XM's Spectrum.

In 2020, the band released 3 singles, CFS, Revenant, and Take Some Time, remixed by RJD2, Emancipator, Kyle McEvoy, & by Gus of Alt-J.

In 2021, the band released a new single, "Head Right." In October of the same year, the band released its debut album self-titled Wilderado. [12]

In March, 2022, the band appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, for their television debut. On September 24, of that same year, they performed on CBS Saturday Morning, 'Saturday Sessions' for their AM TV Debut where they performed "Surefire," "Take Some Time," and "Outside My Head."

In 2024 they released their new EP, "Talker." They were also featured on the sound track for the Twisters movie. The song "Wall of Death" featured Ken Pomeroy and James McAlister.

Band name

The current name is an altered version of the name of a town in Texas called Wildorado, which the band came across while driving late at night. [13] Originally the band was named "Bird Dog" until they learned that another band had been using the name prior to them, which prompted the change to the current name. [3]
