“California’s Bare Wires reside somewhere in the middle of that spectrum: The music is clean enough to be catchy, but ready to play dirty, too.”
NPR
“Melton may be more sincere and sentimental than his contemporaries, but that doesn’t preclude a Bare Wires show from being a hangover-inducing clobbering of tight riffs and crunchy hooks.”
THE ONION
“Fun, glam-tinged garage-pop with guitar solos that singe your nose hairs”
SF WEEKLY
“Two fun backbeat poppers that stick in your head like a couple of bright pink wads of bubblegum.”
ALTERED ZONES
“The band has found that sweet spot where the genres intersect, meaning there are plenty of hooks delivered by guitars that stop just short of doubling as buzzsaws.”
WASHINGTON POST
“Upbeat, classic garage rock with all the proper guitar hooks, just sweet enough to sing along.”
