This week on In Frequency, Eleanor Grace chats with Kevin Jordan of This Wild Life about their sophomore record Low Tides, released this past Friday on Epitaph.
As It Is just dropped a new teaser video on Instagram and TikTok sharing that they’re releasing a new version of “Dial Tones.” This time, the Never Happy, Ever After track contains a mystery featured guest artist. The teaser video sees the song in its more mature form with refined pop-punk sonics—after all, it’s been an entire decade. (Insert crying emoji here.) Our best guess is that As It Is tapped Stand Atlantic to help refresh “Dial Tones” in 2025. In September 2024, Patty Walters joined Stand Atlantic onstage for a performance of “NOSE BLEED.” So, clearly, they were hanging… Read more »
Meeting your heroes can change your life. And that’s what’s happening to the upcoming act, New Aesthetic. The San Diego, CA-based band received a message from frontman J.T.

This Wild Life is giving fans their take on blink-182’s iconic ballad, “I Miss You.” The cover, featuring Oliver Baxxter of Broadside, is on the duo’s dynamic new release, Never Fade.

Reminiscent of blink-182’s original music video, This Wild Life’s version is set in a darkly-lit house decorated with candles, velvet curtains, and a grand chandelier hanging above.

This Wild Life have revealed the details of their new full-length, and it features a special guest on every song. Can you guess who?
How do you transform a tantalizing metalcore song into an eerie lullaby without losing an ounce of the emotion or the intensity? If we’re talking “Sleepwalking†by the scene-dominating British band Bring Me The Horizon, the only way is to have This Wild Life cover it.
It’s a struggle most of us have experienced with our families, at least to some degree — the parents think the kids’ music is unlistenable garbage, and the kids think their parents’ music was recorded by the first dinosaurs to ever hold guitars. But when you find those rare few bands that occupy the middle ground between everyone’s tastes, it’s a special moment that brings the family together way better than getting a pet fish ever could.
