The Wildcards 3rd studio album ‘When The Moon Shines Bright’ features brand new material written by band members Vince Lee and Martin Vowles. The quality of songwriting is stronger than ever on the new record, clearly showing how the band has evolved since their first album ‘On Fire’ (2004). The band spent most of 2009 writing and arranging tunes for the new disc taking time out from their usual busy touring schedule to re-evaluate The Wildcards overall direction and it’s paid off!

There is a much more up-tempo feel with less emphasis on the straight-ahead blues feel of previous recordings. Be prepared for a Rock & Roll Freak show of dark Cuban rhythms laced with heavy tremelo surf ‘n’ swamp guitar tones… Killer vintage R&B, infectious jungle swing and nitro-powered rockabilly all delivered with trademark Wildcards retro weirdness. With suitably creepy artwork from the twisted mind of Vince Lee sealing the package, you can expect a more than worthy successor to the bands previous release ‘Raising Hell’ which Blues Matters Magazine voted 7th best blues album of 2007. /Excerpt from the album liner notes

For those familiar with the British blues scene of the 1990s, The Nightporters and The Big Combo are not unfamiliar names. Guitar player and singer Vince Lee has been a mainstay on the South West music scene for decades. In 1996 he formed The Big Combo, a band that has almost become legendary in the Cornwell area. Bassist Al Wallis was all this time on his side. The Nightporters were a band who at the time was a guarantee for an evening of "fun" of the highest order. But in 2002, at the highlight of the band and after a very succesful tour in Canada, they split up.

Around 2003 Lee and Wallis came together with Martin Vowles (guitar) en Kevin Crowe (drums) of the Nightporters and they formed The Wildcards, a 4 piece band with a a combination of deep blues, West Coast swing, rockabilly, surf, boogie, jump and jive, rock 'n roll. Already in 2004, they threw their debut album 'On Fire' on the market. In 2006 they toured with Gary Primich and they had plans to do this all over again in 2007 but Primich's unexpected death prevented a new tour. 2007 followed with the successful second album "Raising Hell", full of good songs with a blistering rendition of 'St James Infirmary' and posthumously dedicated to Gary Primich.

In 2010, they delivered their third shoot "When The Moon Shines Bright"; nasty, horny and gritty are the keys to this album. Again a great mix of various styles, rockabilly, hints of reggae and ska, rhythm & blues, West Coast jump and even a touch of surf. In 2008 Vince Lee had met his partner Becca Langsford and since then they have performed together in various band settings. He produced and played most of the instruments on Becca's debut album 'Big Surprise' in 2011. Martin Vowles and Kevin Crowe returned to the re-established Nightporters for a one time European tour and in 2014 they joined female harmonica player Dana Dixon and the Big Kats.
