Gen and the Degenerates Release Brand New Track 'Wild Thing'

Marshall Records' new signing sensation Gen and the Degenerates unveil their brand new single 'Wild Thing'. Following the release of previous single 'Runaway Blues' earlier in 2021 the band are set to take 2022 by storm.

The song combines the band’s signature swagger with a catchy and immediate chorus. The band deliver a blend of Rock & Punk with a modern touch to create a lasting impact and promise to be one of the hottest acts of 2022. The video shot by Ben Roberts chronicles in Gen’s own words “the villain origin story of a chaotic bi-sexual Rockstar”Regarding the track frontperson Gen Degenerate had the following to say:
“On the 22nd of April 1966 The Troggs released their version of the song 'Wild Thing'... On the 16th of November 1996 I was born and my mum repurposed it as a lullaby. She sang it to me each night to send me to sleep and I can't help but think this might have something to do with how I turned out the way I did. This song is inspired by that. It's both a celebration and confession of the untamed or unconventional sides of my character that life and other people have tried to squeeze out of me. My intensity, my queerness, my complete inability to march to anyone else's drummer. I hope that everyone else who has a little streak of something wild in them can feel at home in it too.”
With the accuracy of Funk, the swagger of Rock ‘n’ Roll and the rebellious edge of Punk 'Wild Thing' reminds the world just how important understanding yourself truly is.
