“Los Wild Ones” is a documentary about Wild Records—a LA record label comprised of young Hispanic musicians, run by an Irishman, and specializing in American 50’s rock and roll. The film centers on the familial relationship that manager, Rob Kennedy, has with his musicians and the responsibility he feels towards them as he grapples with his stubborn resistance to modern media and his desire to keep the record label—and his musicians—afloat.
If Kennedy had his way, the music that he records in his backyard studio—often in only one or two takes—would be exclusively sold on vinyl, and NEVER listened to via headphones. Raw, authentic, and with an energy reminiscent of the early punk scene, Wild Records musicians put out some great records and have a really fun live show.
