This Wild Life is an acoustic rock duo from Long Beach, California consisting of Kevin Jordan on vocals and guitar and Anthony Del Grosso on guitar. Jordan and Del Grosso were originally pianist and drummer respectively.
Formed in December 2010, This Wild Life began as a pop punk band with former members of the band The Messenger, which disbanded in July 2010. On May 7, 2013, it was announced that they would be recording with Copeland’s Aaron Marsh. The change from a full band to an acoustic duo was because there was more attention to their acoustic songs, and acoustic songs are easier on Kevin Jordan's vocals. Although it was a difficult decision, the change opened them up to new opportunities. On August 23, 2013, This Wild Life became part of The Artery Foundation. They were also added to Dave Shapiro's roster at The Agency Group, alongside other musicians such as A Day To Remember, Falling In Reverse, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, and The Wonder Years. Dave Shapiro is the vice president of The Agency Group and co-founder of the Scream It Like You Mean It Tour. On April 4, 2014, it was announced that This Wild Life was signed to Epitaph Records and will release their first full length album, "Clouded" on May 27, 2014 with the song "History" being the first single. "Clouded" was recorded with Aaron Marsh of Copeland.
This Wild Life performed "Roots and Branches" live on Episode 2 of Season 10 of The Bachelorette in a private concert at Santa Anita Park for Andi Dorfman and Chris Soules.
This Wild Life performed at Vans Warped Tour 2011 on August 10, 2011 and at Warped Tour 2012 on June 21, 2012, respectively. They appeared at Vans Warped Tour 2014. In 2013 and 2014, This Wild Life toured with Emery.
