Bare Wires were a damn good band, very catchy... but bands break up; especially bands in the garage/punk/pop realm...the shelf lives of these acts often seem rather short. But fuck it, life goes on, and these break-ups often lead to former members going on to form new awesome groups like Warm Soda.
Where Bare Wires had a little Thin Lizzy snarl, Warm Soda has hooks. Lots and lots of hooks. The production likely plays a large role, but this reminds me so much of the first Strokes album it's ridiculous (and hype of that era aside, that record was really fuckin' good). I don't have the greatest speakers but it sounds like "Someone for You" was recorded onto an old tape deck, which is basically what makes it sound like a retro power pop record instead of a modern pop marvel. Either way, very catchy and highly listenable.
