Wyman & The Wolves arrive with the kind of confidence that only comes from living inside your sound. Since forming in 2019, the band has carved out a lane they call Edgy Americana—a raw blend of alt-country soul, restless rock energy, and emotional honesty. From recording their first EP at Robbie Krieger’s Horse Latitudes to emerging from pandemic isolation with sharpened instincts, the Wolves now stand as a tight, collaborative unit on the brink of their debut LP Ad Astra.
“Collide” is a statement track. It grabs you immediately with a gritty yet warm guitar tone, anchored by a rhythm section that rolls forward with purpose. The instrumentation feels organic and lived-in—nothing flashy, just players locked into the same pulse, letting tension build naturally. Keys and guitars add texture rather than clutter, giving the song room to breathe while steadily raising the stakes.
Kyle Wyman’s vocal performance is the emotional core. His delivery is controlled but charged, carrying weight without forcing it. There’s a quiet conviction in the way he sings, perfectly suited to a song about friction, connection, and the moment when opposing forces finally meet. When the chorus hits, it feels earned—everything snapping into place rather than exploding for effect.
Production-wise, “Collide” keeps things honest. It highlights dynamics over polish, favoring feel and momentum instead of overproduction. The result is a track that sounds ready for the stage, where its energy and intention would hit even harder.
With “Collide,” Wyman & The Wolves don’t just introduce themselves—they plant a flag. This is Americana with teeth, heart, and forward motion, and it’s only the beginning.
