Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq., the “uke-toting, tweed-clad troubadour” from Bedford, U.K., is out with his fourth album, Carry On While The World Burns. As with his previous releases, the album delivers catchy, old-timey tunes with humorous takes on culture, politics, and the challenges of everyday life.
He’s joined by guest artists Tom Carradine, Madam Misfit, Adam Pitt, Charlie Luscombe, and Sam Barrett.
Wild is known as a virtuoso of musical expletives, primarily due to his hilarious 2018 song “I’ve No More F**ks to Give.” The music video for the song has more than 18 million views on YouTube.
Five of the 12 tracks on the new album carry “Explicit Lyrics” warnings, mostly for sprinklings of naughty words.
Three tracks were previously released as music videos: “I Could Really Use a Win Today,” “It’s Too Bloody Hot,” and “My Brain Won’t Shut The F**k Up.”
You can purchase a CD or digital download directly from his website. It’s also available on Spotify and Bandcamp.
Fans in the U.K. can catch him at upcoming shows in Brighton (Jan. 28), London (Jan. 31), Folkstone (Feb. 8), Devizes (Feb. 22), Nottingham (March 22), and Manchester (April 4). In London, he'll share the stage with Gertcha, Tom Carradine, and Mr B. The Gentleman Rhymer. Learn more on his website.
