Wild Charge was started in 2011 as a school project by Chris Mcleod and Sebastian Agini while attending Musician’s Institute in Hollywood California. After graduating in 2013 and going their separate ways, Chris decided to continue the project. Recruiting long-time friend and bass player Eddie Bautista and other friends to continue the project. Chris and Eddie persevered through line-up change after line-up change for 10 years until finally meeting drummer Joey Mancaruso. With this last piece of the puzzle, they were able to finally capture the sound they had been searching for a decade. Chris has been in several bands over the years including of note Madrost of which he participated in a U.S. tour with.

Wild Charge has played countless shows across Southern California over the last decade. Some notable acts they have shared the stage with include Trauma, Helstar, Power Glove, Animals as Leaders, Loudness, Raven, and Dokken.

The new single ‘City Hunter‘ is based on an anime from the 1980s of the same name. The song is about a hitman who operates in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo.

The upcoming album is currently untitled officially but has a working title ‘TM93‘ a special item in the “Pokemon” games that teaches the move “Wild Charge” which is also the origin of the band’s name Wild Charge.

The band takes influence from bands across several musical genres, the main ones being Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, Loudness, Motorhead, Rush, Judas Priest, T-square, Cacophony, Casiopea, Duran Duran, Racer X, Chicago, Megadeth&  Triumph.

“In all honesty we find things we like in the music we love and try to incorporate that somehow into our style and make it our own, even if it isn’t obvious on the surface the influence is there.

Wild Charge is for fans of bands such as Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Running Wild, Megadeth, Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, or just heavy metal in general.
