Review fom " Target Records "
Where are those pearls sleeping?
Since 2004 this CD is released and The Wild Boys distributed it by their own, but only a few fans know them. But now the three members Hansjörg and Bernd Fichter and Harry Joos will get famous, because you have to test this CD. The guys are very humorous, as the opener “Wild Boys Rap” shows, followed by the first highlight “Asian Eyes”. Another one is “Quit playing games”, a cover version from the Backstreet Boys. The Wild Boys are on stage for several decades, mostly as a cover band. So it was long awaited that they release a CD with own songs to prove their good reputation. Solid rhythms are supported by good guitar work, fine harmonies are rounded off by some keys. The absolute smasher is “Minds eye diary”, it forces me down on my knees, it is sensational groovy. A must-have! .. Also for YOU!!.. Come one!!….BUY!!!

Review :
Even though THE WILD BOYS have been active since the middle of the 70s, they didn't publish their debut until the beginning of 2004 with this CD. My attention was drawn to this recently by the report "Minds Eye Diary" on the 7th part of the "Munich's Hardest Hits... Melodic Rock Is Back" sampler. In "High Time", the trio from Schiltach offer entertaining, earthy and fresh rock music which may be described as ZZ TOP meets DIRE STRAITS (title track) on the other hand also reminds you of the early days of BOYSVOICE ("Wild Boys Rap" / "Asian Eyes") or CRYSTAL BALI ("Cheap Tricks"/ a mightily catchy tune!) So Hanse (guitar, vocals), Nando (bass, vocals) and Jusy (drums, percussion) spread endless good humour in 12 great numbers which immediately spreads to the listener with no diversion whatsoever, by the charming rough version of the BACKSTREET BOYS mega hit "Quit Playing Games", the sing along hymn "Let It Out" and the spicy conversion of the SWEET classic "Wig Wam Bam" . And after several runs "Minds Eye Diary" turns out to be the greatest groove of all times. Musically and songwriterally everything is absolutely in the green, and the production??? .... well what do you expect?.. the sky is the limit, of course!!!This review comes from Sonny´s Rock Metal Heaven.
Review German :
Obwohl THE WILD BOYS schon seit Mitte der 70er aktiv sind, hat die Band mit der hier vorliegenden CD erst Anfang 2004 ihr Debüt veröffentlicht, auf das ich erst vor kurzem durch den Beitrag "Minds Eye Diary" auf dem 7. Teil des "Munich’s Hardest Hits... Melodic Rock Is Back"-Samplers aufmerksam wurde.Auf "High Time" bietet das Trio aus Schiltach unterhaltsame, erdige und frische Rockmusik, die sich einerseits mit ZZ TOP meets DIRE STRAITS (Titeltrack) umschreiben lässt, andererseits aber auch an die Anfangstage von BOYSVOICE ("Wild Boys Rap"/ "Asian Eyes") oder CRYSTAL BALL ("Cheap Tricks"/ ein Ohrwurm vor dem Herrn!) erinnert. So verbreiten Hanse (Gitarre, Gesang), Nando (Bass, Gesang) & Jusy (Drums, Percussion) über 12 Nummern – ohne jeglichen Durchhänger – verdammt gute Laune, die vor allem durch die charmant-raubeinige Version des BACKSTREET BOYS-Megahits "Quit Playing Games", die Mitsing-Hyme "Let It Out" und die pfeffrige Umsetzung des SWEET-Klassikers "Wig Wam Bam" ohne jeden Umweg sofort auf den Zuhörer überschwappt. Außerdem entpuppt sich "Minds Eye Diary" nach ein paar Durchläufen als Groover allererster Güte. Musikalisch und songwritertechnisch ist also alles im tiefgrünen Bereich... und die Produktion???... na was wohl?... vom Feinsten natürlich!!!.
