The Wild - Set Ourselves Free (2010)

I love bands where everyone sounds like they're having the absolute time of their life during the recording process. I like especially how a lot of these bands come from the anti-folk/folk-punk movement. Be the lyrics miserable or life-affirming, you just get the sense that everything will be all right, everything will go to shit, and will happen all at the same time. The Wild certainly live up to their name, sounding unbridled and free, with bratty adult vocals, and pumping out jangly shout-along melodies to leave you bopping to your grave.

Sample: "Together on the Ground"
