Wilson Frontman has Strict “No Bowling Policy” for Guitarist, Bassist

Minneapolis, MN (July 31st, 2016) – Wilson frontman Chad Nicefield announces his strict “no bowling policy” for his guitarist and bassist, risks of hostels while on European tours, drinking violently and, like all guests of Cobras & Fire, his support to remake the KISS classic Phantom of the Park. Catch Wilson on their fall tour with Sevendust, Crobot and Twelve Foot Ninja that includes the fests High Elevation and Rock Allegiance.

Who is Wilson? They are the best band and export from Detroit since the Stroh’s 30 Pack and has earned Cobras & Fire Podcast’s mushroom stamp of approval. But don’t take it from us. Here’s their official press release:

Wilson is not an “internet band”. They’re five dudes in a van with beards and big dicks- working harder than your parents. But instead of giving their all as stockbrokers or auto-mechanics or assistant branch managers their job is to destroy your party. Forget debates about the music industry, about download analytics, mp3 singles, and the “charts”. Screw genres. All that has nothing to do with music. But when that Wilson van cruises into your town that shit is REAL. Real MUSIC. Real LIFE. Real LOUD. Real SWEATY. And real FUN.

While the Cobras studio moves to Denver, esteemed friend of the show Joey of Rock Strikes Ten has graciously put together…
