Who says 70's era punk rock is a thing of the past?  Certainly not a group of guys from New Jersey.  Branding themselves as Wyldlife, this punk quartet is doing what they can to bring back the old days of punk in to a new generation.  The Appetizer's chef and host D Grant Smith spoke with frontman Dave Feldman about the band and some of the challenges they have in getting their name out to the masses.
Music featured is from Wydlife's Nicotine EP, cuts from 2 songs "Invisible Boy" and "Sidewalk Queen."
