Early Years - 'Full Blast Fuckery' (2013)

Wilson entered the studio in early 2013 to release what would be their first full studio album following 2010's EP 'Standing On The Reel'. The album was co-produced, and engineered by Shane D. Grush & Steve Evetts, and mixed by Grant Mohrman & Steve Evetts with the album being released through Easy Killer Records in the USA, and New Damage Records in Canada. Music videos were released in support of the album also, with single video releases for the songs: "College Gangbang", "Strictly Doods (Better Off), and "If You Ever Leave Me...") - with 'Better Off' seeing the band getting airtime and video plays over in the UK on Scuzz TV, Kerrang!, and Team Rock radio respectively.

Reviews for the album were met positively, with particular praise for the high energy and "balls-out nature" of the album. Greg Kennelty of Metal Injection wrote that "In short, Full Blast Fuckery is the album you put on when everyone's at the party and you've opened the first twenty-something beers with every intention of destroying the place".

In support of the album, the band spent the majority of 2013 and 2014 on the road across the US with artists such as Gwar, Jason Newsted, Scorpion Child and The Greenery.

The band also released 'Full Blast Fuckery' in the UK on July 7th 2014 with the first ever vinyl record releases of the album.

'Right To Rise' (2015)

In early 2015, Wilson took some time off the road to head back to the studio in preparation for the recording of their second album.

Upon the albums completion, Wilson headed over to the UK and mainland Europe in March for their first ever tour of these parts in support of Halestorm alongside Nothingmore and The Fallen State (on limited dates). During this time, the band released their first song from the upcoming album 'Right To Rise' with the song 'Hang With The Devil'. Alongside this information, the band also announced that they had signed a record deal with Razor & Tie Records with the new album being released on June 29th, 2015.

In support of Right To Rise, Wilson embarked on their first ever headline UK tour in early 2016, with Devon-based Reigning Days as their support.

In September 2016, the band featured on the cover CD of Metal Hammer's 30 year anniversary issue, with a worldwide exclusive cover of Rage Against The Machine's "Sleep Now In The Fire"
