"The pride of New Bedford, Mass. is back with a second long-player. It’s no surprise that a band living in such a historic whaling town would invoke the force of the ocean with their music. They sometimes seem beyond nature, this bunch of scene vets with résumés longer than your arm. Singer Kevin Grant absolutely kills it with his pipes; dissonant-but-tuneful arrangements clashing behind him like the storm collision of dueling weather fronts. All of the jagged artistry of early-’90s Dischord, the heavy drive of hardcore minus the lockstep didacticism. Awesome and inspirational." –Michael T. Fournier, Razorcake magazine.

"Wire Lines are comfortable with paradox: they are heavy without being formulaic, melodic without being pop, heartfelt without being emo. Kevin Grant is a singer in the best, truest sense of the word, exhibiting range and emotion in his delivery in unexpected ways throughout both sides of this LP, which reminds me of the old Boston band Miltown in that it’s completely ferocious and unimpeachably gripping." –Michael T. Fournier, Razorcake magazine

"Wire Lines from New Bedford have a new four song EP titled Walpole Here We Come.

"The first song 'Transatlantic Flight' has lyrics that set up a Twilight Zone type scenario or a plot that develops like Lost. It does that in a mere 1:58. They describe themselves as ‘post punk’ and ‘post hardcore’ which just means they play it hard. The singer does the occasional yell. He will scream out a word or phrase because of its position at the beginning of the sentence even if that is something as inconsequential as ‘of it’. The emphasis is where the singer wants it, so it works.

"'Eraser' is another nightmare type scenario. It ends with the pithy, 'We had to die because that’s all that ever happened.'

"Last Halloween the group played a whole set as The Smiths. On the EP they cover two Smiths songs. They give them a bit more muscle than the originals but have all the twists and turns in there. It shows that this band has some depth to them." ---Boston Groupie News
