PROVIDENCE, RI // September 18, 2015 – Small town dreams can come true, as WILD SUNproves with the release of their new album Little Truths today. Full of irresistibly accessible vibes, wit and charm, their album is fresh, honest and soothingly relateable.
The band released their first single “Shy Hinges” on Vanyaland earlier this month and gave a sneak peek stream of the record in its entirety via Under The Gun Review just a few days ago, winning the heart of listeners with it’s moving, honest and pure rock n’ roll sound. The album focuses on themes of heartbreak and small town woes, intimately accessible to listeners of any background.
“Ultimately, the album was a breakup album,” shared frontman Glenn Kendzia. “I was in a really dark place after a breakup with someone I was intensely involved with. It was a phase that rearranged many of my views and outlooks on life, and the album was written in the midst of these new-formed perspectives and understanding of myself and things around me.” Born and raised in a small town, the album also confronts the claustrophobia and judgement found in such communities, and torn dual yearning for comfort yet escape of the familiar.
Local alternative station 95.5 WBRU noted, “When Glenn sings, he feels it—the music, the song, the lyrics, the truth. You can tell that he sings of a deep and personal truth. Behind the jokes is someone who was meant to play music.” Wild Sun’s strong local support won them a nomination as Motif Magazine’s 2014 “Breakthrough Act of the Year” as their fresh and honest approach connects with fans and critics alike.
Released on American Laundromat Records, the album can be purchased through the label’s website here, or online via Itunes or Amazon. The band will be playing their release show tonight at the The Knickerbocker in their hometown of Westerly, RI and will also be a part of this years CMJ Music Marathon 2015.

BIOGRAPHY: Wild Sun stands apart from the noise and imitation with their honest brand of energetic rock and roll. In a time when every channel is overloaded with the same old thing, Wild Sun is fresh and raw, and yet accessibly familiar. In less than two years together, the trio of alternative rockers have earned their stay as one of the most promising bands around. With their debut album produced by Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Phish), frequent radio airplay, and a live show that breaks bar sales records, Wild Sun is armed for the front lines. Their debut album, “Little Truths,” will be released nationally in September of 2015 by American Laundromat Records.
There was a time where music was built on great songs, and undeniable passion. There was a time when live shows threw caution into the wind, and musicians improvised and simply made music. Those times are back, and Rhode Island’s Wild Sun are already at the party—cases cracked.
