About

Mouth of Wilson (or M.O.W. as their fans call them) are a Trenton, New Jersey pop-rock ensemble who has steadily built up a loyal following through energetic, impassioned performances in New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia, playing regularly as such esteemed venues as CBGB, The Bitter End, and Sullivan Hall in NYC; World Cafe Live, The Theatre Of The Living Arts, North Star Bar, Pontiac Grill, and Grape Street in Philadelphia, The Saint in Asbury Park, and Starland Ballroom, KatManDu, and John & Peter’s in the Central New Jersey area. Released in 2007, the band’s eponymous debut album was produced by Michael Kianka, who has worked with Bruce Springsteen, Lindsey Buckingham, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, and Happy The Man, and was mixed and mastered at Sterling Sound by Steve Fallone, who’s worked with TV on the Radio, The Strokes, Sonic Youth, and more.  Featuring “Heavy”, “Not All In Vain”, “What’s What” and “Talk To Me”, Mouth Of Wilson, the album, saw success in college radio across the country and sold out its initial pressing within a year, laying the groundwork for what the band considers its greatest strength: composition.

After almost two years of shows promoting their first album, and soldiering on through personnel changes, the band returned to the studio in 2009 and began recording the best of 20 odd songs written since the first album’s release, which became 2010’s “Untamed Animals”.  Released last Summer, Untamed Animals is the definitive statement of where the band is at the moment, a concept album of sorts about humans being human and the stark realities, pains and pleasures of adulthood, capturing much of the basic tracking “live” and featuring inventive arrangements and passionate vocals.  Produced by Lance Reichert with the band, Untamed Animals represents the band’s current sound and mindset, a focus on melody and mood, and is bolstered by some of the best, most catchiest tunes they’ve ever come up with. Featuring 13 tracks, initial highlights include “You Don’t Know”, “Karena”, “Ever After” and the title track, songs pegged by MOW fans as favorites.  Additionally, first single “You Don’t Know” and album track “Who’s Counting” were recently featured on The Weather Channel.  The band is currently touring locally in support of their NEW album, testing new material and delivering fan favorites at venues across the tri-state area, making new fans one-by-one along the way.   Ask for them at a venue near you!
