Born from the creative vision of Jon Harvey (former lead vocalist and songwriter for Canadian rockers Monster Truck), The Wild High is a powerhouse of country-rock energy, delivering joy, passion, and anthemic singalongs with every song. Featuring an all-star lineup—including Myke Penney (The Jailbirds), Pete Antoniou (Revive The Rose), Zander Lamothe (The Zilis), and Ryan Ethier—the band blends the raw spirit of classic rock with a fresh, modern edge.
Their brand new single “I Wanna Get Paid” is a gritty country-rock anthem of desperate optimism. It captures the universal dream of financial freedom without the relentless grind—a reflection on those who long to get paid just for existing. At its core, though, it’s also a song about resilience, a reminder to hold onto hope even in the darkest moments, says lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Harvey.
I love the pace and mood of the song. It's very enjoyable from start to finish, with a classy arrangement and top-notch production and performance. “I Wanna Get Paid” features fantastic vocals (the chorus is super catchy) and a great solo section as well. It's a quality song from every point of view. Give it a go by clicking on the Spotify player below, and remember to follow The Wild High on social media.
