Amplifying the pared down “smooth punk” of their 2009 debut LP Artificial Clouds, BARE WIRES nods to the bubblegum chomping, power pop stompers of ‘70s glam rock with their sophomore album Seeking Love. What started as the side project of MATTHEW MELTON and ALICJA TROUT in Memphis has now solidified as a three-piece based out of Oakland, CA with Melton, drummer NATHAN PRICE and bassist FLETCHER JOHNSON. Released on BRIAN LEE HUGHES & JOHN DWYER’s (THEE OH SEES) Castle Face imprint, the ten songs on Seeking Love boast handclap heavy, stadium-ready production reminiscent of early ‘70s glam rockers Gary Glitter and Slade, while still speaking to the sincerity and authenticity that has become Melton’s songwriting trademark.
