about

Available for the first time ever on vinyl from www.iodinerecords.com

Unlikely but overwilling, the embryonic form of Boston’s There Were Wires (formed on Martha’s Vineyard in 1999) traversed every basement, rec hall and dive club in the city to blow out speakers and vocal chords alike with their explosive brand of hardcore punk. Their blend of harshly emotive dissonance and punchy, anthemic songs pulled inspiration from bands like Converge, Portraits of Past, and Unbroken. Though it’s true that TWW’s live shows were a powder keg of chaos, the true gooey center of the band revealed an honest vulnerability that belied the tough crowd of contemporaries, which gained them a small but devoted cult following in the New England scene.

The band’s debut self titled LP is being pressed for the first time on vinyl and has been completely remixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge) at God City Studios and re-mastered for vinyl. The LP now includes several out of print B-Sides and the band’s 1999 demo. Available on two limited color variants. Nearly two decades later, with fresh new vinyl re-releases of both records in tow, TWW is poised to return to the stage once again. For now, what TWW’s second life yields beyond another chance to sing and dance with fans - both old and new - remains to be seen.
