Background:

Wild Wild Wets was founded in 2011 by three former members of the Old In Out, who had recently split; Mike Turi (Trap Gold), Marco Piro (Vinyl Film), and Ryan White. Piro and White were only with the Old In Out during its final few months.

Turi cites the Penetrators (New York’s, not San Diego’s) as a top influence. He and another former Old In Out, Ryan Bohan, also have a side band called Trap Gold, founded in 2010 along with Kelly Sullivan and synth-bassist Chase Elliott (the Kabbs). Former Old In Out guitarist Rory Truesdale launched a solo project called Sleeping Ghost/Electric Crush.
