Orson Wilds is an indie/alt rock band from Toronto, Ontario formed in 2019. The band’s sound combines elements of punk, folk and rock to create something that is both intimate and expansive. They released their debut EP WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WON’T LET GO? in late 2021 produced by Will Yip. The album was released with Will’s support on his record Black Cement(Roadrunner Records). The album combines a mixture of both hope and grief, chronicling the bands experience with the loss as well as trying to remain hopeful. A trademark of the band’s sound; upon first listening the songs are uplifting but upon closer listening, a deep melancholy runs through them. Debut single “Stand Up” was an instant success, garnering major playlist adds and radio success and follow up single “dec 19” was placed on popular video game NHL ’22. 

An avid lover of film, Reid’s songwriting takes on a cinematic quality, with rock at the heart, and building orchestral elements and sweeping melodies to create a sprawling sonic landscape that is in equal parts familiar and unique. Eric and Brianna fill out their sound with friends and family on recordings and live performances.
