Pop-punk rockers Kevin Jordan and Anthony Del Grosso record and perform as This Wild Life<\/a><\/strong>, they’ve just released their debut full-length album, Clouded<\/a><\/strong> (on Epitaph<\/a><\/strong>) and they’ve proudly said a big F*CK YOU to musical genres by releasing a melodic acoustic album with thoughtful lyrics, pianos and a full string section. Kevin Jordan’s vocal inspiration isn’t Joey Ramone or Henry Rollins — it’s pop songstress Sara Bareilles<\/a><\/strong>. As a perfect example of the old adage “you can’t judge a book by its cover,” have a look at these guys and then have a listen. Their video for “History” is a great little road warrior story as well. As someone who hates to see creative people pigeonholed into a particular style or genre, I love these guys on principle alone. The fact that they’re great musicians with well-crafted, heartfelt songs doesn’t hurt one bit.<\/p>\n

Oh, and they’ll be performing on the Warped Tour<\/a><\/strong> that begins in Houston on June 13. Even better.<\/p>\n
