Everybody loves a story and singer-songwriter / rock and roller Dmitry Wild certainly has loads to tell. Back with his first release of 2012, it’s a double whammy complete with a B-side. ‘Don’t Need Anybody’ follows up three singles released in 2020, the latest of which was ”Pandemic Summer’. Together with the B-side ‘Summer of 2021’, it will be released digitally on December 1. Wild worked with Byron Frayne (mixing) and NYC blues-rock cult hero David Patillo (mixing and mastering).
Dmitry Wild comments: “Every song offers an opposing storyline, there is a separate theatre of meanings and emotions that highlights what we as humanity just lived through in 2020, but when that’s done in major tonalities and to a rippind drum beat it feels good to be alive again. The first song ‘Don’t Need Anybody’ offers an introspection and resolution that you don’t need anybody’s approval, digital or physical, for you to accept yourself for who you are. Also, to really truly live, all you need is some time, peace and your own soul to guide you to an emotion that gets yelled out through the microphone.”

Wild flourishes here with a swaggering style, the buoyant track having a night-on-the-town ripping sound. “I don’t need anybody / The whole world is inside me” makes for a start of lyrics that, if they don’t pique your interest, the hyper full-band rhythm and feel-good factor certainly should.
For Dmitry Wild, all ultimately lead back to oneself. After surviving 9/11 due to a late train on the way to band practice, he has fronted 10 bands of his own and collaborated with the likes of The Cramps’ Jungle Jim and Vladimir Komarov from the iconic Russian band Punk TV (and also a NYC-based producer).
A musician, actor and writer, Dmitry Wild’s ever-present musical persona always leads him on fascinating adventures. His book ‘Why Be Normal? details a raucous road trip and his own personal search for the American Dream.
Upon escaping the pandemic with a move upstate to Hudson, New York, he launched a more solo trajectory as the main writer, composer, guitarist and a performer of all material. With performance, emotion and lyrics at the core of his music, live shows take on a theatrical and, at times, mystical experience with a band of true conspirators, performing under the name Dmitry Wild and The Spells (with Peter Breed doubling on keys and bass).
In early 2022, Dmitry Wild plans to release a full-length album of edgy ballads, folky gipsy tales, a few covers, other introspective tracks inspired by the 80’s and garage blues. For now, ‘Don’t Need Anybody’ will be released on December 1 and will be available across all good digital sites, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, where it can already be ordered.
