There Were Wires

There Were Wires were an underground hardcore/metal band from Boston, MA that formed in the late 90s. They quickly gained notoriety in New England for their intense and chaotic live shows. The band played regularly throughout the early 2000’s, sharing stages with prominent bands like Mastodon, Converge, and The Dillinger Escape Plan, along with successful tours with Daughters and Zombi.The band was an early pioneer of the moody, atmospheric metal genre, and became an influential act that would pave the way for a wave of slow, heavy music that would follow after the band’s demise. Members of There Were Wires later went on to play in Doomriders (Deathwish Inc.) and Disappearer (Dark Operative). In 2021, There Were Wires announced a vinyl reissue of their final album 'somnambulists' on Iodine Recordings.
