Wild Bells

Wild Bells was an indie rock band led by singer/songwriter Pete Ficht. Formed in Portland in 2011, they were known for their melodic guitar rock songs and quirky & literate lyrics,. They released a self-titled album in 2013, and the 4-song May Pang EP in 2015.

Formed by Ficht (vocals, guitar), Scott Pettitt (drums), and Craig Stahr (lead guitar) in 2011, they released the singles "Curtain Call" and "Never Learn (Not To Learn" in 2012. They were soon joined by Sean Tichenor (vocals, bass) and Sean Farrell (keys). They recorded the Wild Bells album in 2013, funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign. Late in the sessions, they were joined by Ellen Louise Osborn (vocals). The album was recorded by Tony Lash and Daniel Riddle and produced by Lash. 

After a few lineup changes, Ficht, Pettitt, and Tichenor released the May Pang EP in 2015, with new members Rachel Coddington (vocals) and Jeff Porter (lead guitar). The EP was recorded and produced by Daniel Riddle and Pete Ficht.
