The Wires, LIVE! (Live Friday 045)

“The Wires are a shining example of the potential for garage rock to shake off its trappings and sound urgent and unusual rather than maintain the status quo of heavy distortion, lo-fi recording and flaming dice tattoos on every band member. Although the new Portland trio’s recordings worship at the altar of original mono retro-rockers Dead Moon, the Wires’ simple and sublime style actually seems more reminiscent of the honest romanticism of Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers.” DAVE CLIFFFORD (Willamette Week).  Guest Host: Arya Imig
