Wires On Fire, a collective of four young men from Los Angeles, have created a name for themselves with their balls-out live set, full of blood, sweat, and saliva. While the
chaotic punk rock passion and energy from their acclaimed Homewrecker EP remains,
the band has taken steps in a different direction on their new Self-Titled full-length
debut. Wires On Fire have created an innovative style with hopes to inspire a new breed
of rock and roll for this generation of colorless music.
Each track on the 12-song monster reveals a different side of Wires On Fire, with
influences from The Birthday Party, Black Sabbath, Neil Young, The Damned and the
The Beach Boys peeking through. The addition of singer/guitarist Evan Weiss younger
(as in fresh-out-of-high-school) brother, Darren, on drums has given the band an even
more explosive and dynamic edge. This observation is not only apparent during their
live shows, but became evident while recording this Self-Titled debut with Alain
Johannes and Natasha Shneider (Queens of The Stone Age, Mark Lanegan Band,
Eleven).
After booking several national and west coast tours on their own (sharing the stage
with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Fall, Death From Above 1979, Pretty Girls Make Graves,
Dillinger Escape Plan, Mclusky, Hella, Two Gallants, etc.) Wires On Fire stand out from
the rock band masses as a unique -- perhaps unclassifiable -- group. No genre aptly
captures their sound, nor do they fit within a particular fan base. Still, these off-the-wall
individuals are just as motivated to play for their merch guy as opening for any one of
their influences (who are so diverse any laymen would asphyxiate trying to figure out
where the unique strands in their layered passion came from). And if you can figure out
where these cowboys came from, you will still asphyxiate. Assaultive, yet loving, these
young hearts are free
