post-hardcore

For all the musical freedom ostensibly offered by subculture, it can also be
limiting in its adherence to tradition and genre constraints. Luckily, New
Bedford, MA indie rock luminaries Wire Lines have no regard for such
restrictions. Consisting of four musical veterans who have served time in the likes of
Daltonic, The Hidden, Bury The Needle, Supermachiner, and many other
acts, Wire Lines channel their urgent, hook-laden brand of alt rock through
the lens of the hardcore punk on which they cut their teeth. Where one song evokes the bouncing
pop-punk of Superchunk, the next flirts with the chugging post-hardcore of
Jawbox.
