Ladies and gentlemen, we have elite in the house. No, not one of that “pseudo Pseudoe” or “wanna-be incognito but writing for fame” knick-knacks. These are elite as a matter of fact. Well, this should be mention and it does. But it shouldn’t be a criterion to get considered by us and it is none.

Instead of that, we still get softened by innovative music and congenial characters (even if we just communicate in bits and bytes with most of them). And that’s what comes by Red Wire Black Wire, an electro-pop band whose members recently graduated from extolled Wesleyan University and then high-tailed it for New York City.

I am really into the uncongested sound this quintet brings into being. The group distinguishes themselves with a penchant for melody and a flair for song craft. Lyrics that straddle the line between macabre humor and sinister love poem.

To cut a long story short, Red Wire Black Wire is a band that has taken everything cool about modern music and boiled it down to its pure pop essence. Their new EP comes out November 25, 2008 on Tough Customer Records. Tours, video, and total world domination to follow. Well then!
