"Thunder Clatter" off of the 2012 debut album from Wild Cub is our song of the day. Wild Cub is the newest project from film composer and singer/songwriter Keegan DeWitt . Youth was first released in the UK in early 2012.
While commercials can be the nuisance that puts an extra two minutes between you and the shocking results of The Biggest Loser weigh-in, they can also be surprisingly effective vehicles for embedding that one song in your head. A few weeks back, the Oscar telecast saw a couple new additions to the recent crop of commercial-delivered earworms, including Nashville artist Keegan DeWitt’s “Say La La” on JC Penney’s “Dear America” spot. DeWitt worked with friend Matt Miadich, who directed JC Penney’s Oscar ads and went to bat for the song. [...]

On a recent snowy winter day, I found myself searching for a song to brighten things up a bit. After stumbling through the related artists section of Spotify, I managed to come across "Thunder Clatter" by Wild Cub . Immediately, the clouds began to part, the sun began to shine through and the streets were filled with tourists performing a choreographed routine to the tropical pop song in my ears - or at least it felt like that could happen. Keegan Dewitt and Jeremy Bullock may have created Wild [...]
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist : Wild Cub Video: "Thunder Clatter" Highlight: "We had always eagerly avoided having our faces captured for a video. We always preferred the tone and the music be first," singer/guitarist Keegan DeWitt tells Spinner. "The U.K. release of Youth (Jan. 14) finally pushed us to break the cycle and put our live show on tape. With 48 hours' notice, we scrambled as many friends and as much wine as possible into one room [...]
Film composer Keegan DeWitt radically changed his sound with the release of his 2010 7”, “Two Hearts” / “Reluctance”, as his songs moved from ‘singer/songwriter’ to driving, dance-inflected pop. Multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Bullock (Pico vs. Island Trees, Jessie Baylin, Madi Diaz) was part of DeWitt’s 2011 touring band and the pair of musicians have used the shimmery “new romantic” dance pop of “Two Hearts” as a jumping-off point to record a new 13-track full-length under the name Wild Cub. The band’s debut disc, Youth , was recorded last fall in Bullock’s home studio and drops on August 14th [...]
Thanks to Matt Jay for passing along a link to the video he directed for "Shapeless" by Wild Cub . The band is the latest project from musician/film score composer Keegan DeWitt, with a full length LP on the way next month called Youth . Here is the video for "Shapeless", song below the video. Reminds me a little of TV On The Radio. "Shapeless" (Official Video) from Wild Cub on Vimeo .
Here is my list of the songs I liked best in 2011, which will be the last one we offer here. I only adhered to three rules with this list, really: 1. The song had to be officially released in 2011, 2. I could only select one song for any artist, and 3. The list [...]
Nashville songstress Caitlin Rose teamed up with Keegan DeWitt and made a touching gentle ditty with more than a few sharp barbs embedded in its snow-covered aural landscape. "You never come home for Christmas, and maybe it's better that way." Ouch! Download it free from RCRDLBL.com . Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys can always be relied upon for a warped outlook on life, and with seasonal song titles like 'Post Apocalypse Christmas' on his upcoming EP release, he certainly delivers.

. Dono do famoso Daytrotter Studios , compositor de trilha-sonoras, ator e agora cantor, apesar de Keegan DeWitt parecer querer ser de tudo um pouco, o resultado do seu primeiro single, "Colour", é surpreendente até mesmo para os artistas mais dedicados. A canção é um assalto pop desde a primeira nota, com linhas de guitarras agitadas e baterias dançantes derretendo uma sobre as outras, com a ajuda de um baixo pulsante e sintetizadores pontuados. O recheio, entretanto, são os vocais de Keegan, que [...]

one hand reflected in the other, we tore it up we wanted more ♫ Keegan DeWitt - Colour As I prepare to move back to Los Angeles after 4 years on public transport in Warsaw, Poland, it's songs like this that get me excited about being in a car again. This is exactly the kind of song I want pushing the limits of my speakers as I inhale that coastal air and feel the warm wind on my face. Dewitt is certainly no stranger to travel, trekking from his home in Oregon [...]

After about an hour or so of blog surfing, I was about to put up my mouse for the evening (er...trackpad). But a few notes into this track and I was in it for the long haul (aka 10 or so listens in the following hour.) Seasoned writer of film scores, patron of Daytrotter Studios , Keegan DeWitt's "Colour" gives you a bit of upbeat Local Natives, GROUPLOVE, Givers sounding stuff to warm you up on these particularly chilly evenings. Highly recommend checking out the video for "Thunder Clatter" created as a compilation from one of their Barnstormer performances [...]
A glossy bit of racing fun, Keegan DeWitt's "Colour" is relentless in its pursuit of something; the question is what? Brief color metaphors (pedantic, we know) add the weight to the chorus, but it seems as if the focus is less on our relationship to imagery, and more one the caustic, distant relationship we have to one another. The most memorable line is the rapid fire, "I hate the way we're
