Wild Cub is an American indie rock band led by songwriter-composer Keegan DeWitt and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Bullock.

[1] Its supporting members are drummer Dabney Morris, bassist Harry West, and keyboardist and synthesist Eric Wilson.

[5] Tired of life in Brooklyn, New York, DeWitt declined a promotion and instead resigned from his job in 2008[2] and moved to Nashville, Tennessee to concentrate on music.

[6] In a 2010 interview, DeWitt stated that he moved because "in Brooklyn, the price of living was such that you'd have to be working a full time job, and I found myself putting 50% effort into both that job and my music.

He collaborated with director Aaron Katz on Dance Party USA, Cold Weather, and Quiet City.

[7][8][9] In Nashville DeWitt met multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Bullock,[2] who had previously collaborated with Madi Diaz and Pico vs. Island Trees,[10] and the two founded Wild Cub with Morris, West, and Wilson in early 2012.

[11] The group's 13-song debut album Youth was self-released in January 2013 via Big Light Recordings;[3] a deluxe version of the album with two new tracks was released on January 21, 2014, via Mom + Pop Music.

[4] Recorded in Bullock's home,[2] it was well received in the UK and the US;[2] Scott Kerr of AllMusic called it "jubilant, '80s-inspired synth pop and infectious".

[2] The lead single, "Thunder Clatter", was given a positive review by AllMusic[2] but did not chart until August 2013, after it was used in a Bose commercial;[2] it eventually reached number 59 on the UK Singles Chart.

[12][13] Wild Cub has performed at SXSW, Bonnaroo, CMJ and other prominent festivals.

[18] In addition, they performed a version of "Crazy in Love" in June 2014 for The A.V.

[19] As of 2017 both Dewitt and Bullock transitioned to the film and TV industry as composers.

Their original compositions appeared in 2017 Heart Beats Loud[20] and 2018 Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story, the latter which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

[21][22] Bullock also composed an episode of the 2018 series, 7 Days Out,[23] the entire score of the 2020 HBO series, Atlanta's Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children,[24] and the entire score of 2022 I Love My Dad,[25] which won both the Grand Jury and Audience Narrative Feature Competition Award at the 2022 South by Southwest (SXSW) Film and TV Festival.
