Cobras & Fire: Rock Podcast

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
