Fred Wilson was formed in Los Angeles circa 1999, when vocalist/guitarist Jason Gajda, bassist Bryan Dobbs, guitarist Weston Radcliffe and drummer Ward Poulos decided to combine their collective musical force into a unique style of music that would be known as "Action Rock n’ Roll."
Since then, the group’s sound has evolved into a cocktail of tight guitar riffs, thumping rhythm tracks and action-packed, story-telling lyrics that leave you wanting to hear them again and again…
Fred Wilson has been inspired by a wide variety of artists such as the Beastie Boys, Cake, Morphine, Tom Waits, Soul Coughing, and even Massive Attack. But take a listen to their "Action Rock & Roll" CD and you will discover that they have a rocking sound that defies traditional genres and is truly all their own.
