Huge Thank You
We here at Wires in the Walls just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that came out to our EP release show on Saturday at the Bootleg. We were truly blown away by the awesome support, and hope everyone had a great time because we sure did. A big thanks as well to Olin and the Moon for kicking off the night properly - those guys rocked it. If you missed it, don’t worry, we’ve got...

Inside the Studio - Wires in the Walls' New EP...
In an unmarked building in the heart of Eagle Rock lies the Hobby Shop, a recording studio owned and operated by Scott Gilman. It’s probably our favorite spot on the planet, and about a month ago we were fortunate enough to return to this magical place where we made our first EP a year prior, tackling four new songs that we honed while on tour. The process of recording is one of the most...

Home, where the music's playin'...
So my goal here, was to write a recap of our East Coast Voyage. To reminisce, to relive, to reflect, etc. etc. But the truth is now that we’ve been home long enough to recover from brutal colds, and have taken enough time off that we can again stand the sight of one another, the trip refuses to come into focus. It is a blur. A collection of single moments, playing out in no particular order....

We've Made It Halfway!
It’s hard to believe that with five shows behind us, we’ve already hit the halfway point of our east coast tour. Why, it seemed like just yesterday we were dragging our asses to the Long Beach airport at early o’clock in the morning. I think I can safely speak for everyone in the band though when I say we’ve been having an absolute blast. First off, we’ve been...

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Burger
Bryan and Thomas insisted we make our first food stop at Five Guys Burgers and Fries in Northern Virginia, and boy howdy did they knock that one out of the park. Despite the fact that we almost went into instant cardiac arrest, the burgers were deliciously awesome. If this whole band thing doesn’t work out, we’re going to franchise a Five Guys in LA.

Stephen Colbert is Delicious...
Charlottesville, VA
After an appropriately Southern dinner of fried catfish and grits, a few beers and triple espressos, we were ready to play The Box with local face-melters Bride Of The Narwhal. The Box is probably only slightly larger than your living room but boasts a full bar, a world class staff, noodles from all over the Orient, and a 6 foot portrait of Mr. Miyagi. By the time we were...
Who's on the Mic?
Who’s on the Mic is a running list of some of what the band is listening to on the road. So check in regularly to see who played what.
DJ-ing in a van full of musicians for a long drive is a delicate thing. A misfire can lead to musical mutiny and your status as DJ being revoked as we learned this morning due to the selection of a Metallica song pre-breakfast, but post a night of drinking....
