About

The Wild Things are Syd, Rob, and Cam, who between the three of them consist of artists, musicians, actors, producers, designers, and dancers. But if you think that's a lot to remember, try this: Cam and Syd are brother and sister, born and raised in West London where they grew up in the basement of an art deco ‘castle’ hand built by their father, painstakingly practicing music and assembling the studio where all their music is still recorded to this day. Rob has no siblings in the band, and is from Rotherham. Syd and Rob are both actors, and have each appeared in several theatre productions (Quadrophenia, Romeo and Juliet), TV shows (New Tricks, The Syndicate, Young Dracula, Silent Witness), and films (Deadbeats, Rules of Love). Cam currently does’t act, but he does produce all of The Wild Things’ music, as well as being an accomplished guitarist, bassist, pianist, drummer, and organ player. Cam was born deaf, but this has never stopped his musical exploration. Got it? Great, because there’s more!

Syd and Rob met on the set of the musical QUADROPHENIA. In that production they also met a man named Pete Townshend, who they now feel lucky to count as a friend as well as a fan. Pete once played in a band called The Who. Cam and Syd were also in a previous band once, but when that came to a standstill, they summoned Rob’s lyrical prowess to form The Wild Things. Syd and Rob now live together, along with a cat named Filthy McNasty, who, like Pete, they also consider as a friend and fan. Filthy McNasty was never part of The Who.

After years of being based in London, the band felt the urge to move to LA. So they did it.

The Wild Things is an embodiment of this crazy, hectic, and restless story. Their music conveys both the excitement and pitfalls of living a lifestyle that is constantly in motion and never static. Optimism, wanderlust, loneliness, and vulnerability all find a place in this journey. There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen.
