There Were Wires were an underground hardcore/metal band from Boston, MA that formed in the late 90s. They quickly gained notoriety in New England for their intense and chaotic live shows. The band played regularly throughout the early 2000’s, sharing stages with prominent bands like Mastodon, Converge, and The Dillinger Escape Plan, along with successful tours with Daughters (Ipecac Records) and Zombi (Relapse Records).

There Were Wires were an early pioneer of the moody, atmospheric metal genre, and became an influential giant that would pave the way for a wave of slow, heavy music that would follow after the band’s demise. Members of There Were Wires later went on to play in Doomriders (Deathwish Inc.) and Disappearer (Dark Operative).

"Somnambulists" was There Were Wires’ sophomore release, originally released on Iodine Recordings in 2003. The record was a departure from their original fast and thrashy sound, which was dominant on their debut Self Titled LP. For this release, the band worked with producer Matt Squire at Camp Street and Q-Division studios. By this time, There Were Wires had matured as song writers and constructed songs considerably longer and more intricate than anything previously written. These tracks belied much of the frenetic energy of earlier works, moving glacially at times, winding tension with extended buildups and clean vocals while still maintaining its intensity. Somnambulists was not only a dramatic departure from the punchy abruptness of their earlier sound, but a welcomed one, as well - the record was met with much acclaim from fans and critics alike. Somnambulists is a full album experience that combines heavy, droning, and bluesy riffs with atmospheric interludes. The album follows a theme of loss, regret, sleep walking, and darkness.

Iodine Recordings and Tor Johnson Records are excited to present "Somnambulists" on vinyl for the first time ever. The album has been remastered for optimal listening and contains all new artwork in a gatefold jacket. The record also includes a previously unreleased cover of Tunic by Sonic Youth. This is Iodine Recordings’ first release in 17 years!

Perfect!! I’m obsessed!
Size: Medium (6.8"W*4.4"D*2.2"H), Color: Beige
So cute and great for travel! Lots of organization areas, easy to use, very durable and not made cheap, the zipper closes just fine and it’s compact for traveling or storing under the sink.

Necessary for travel
Size: Medium (6.8"W*4.4"D*2.2"H), Color: Purple
This is really cute and looks classy. Quality is very nice. The only thing is the hooks for the necklaces didn’t keep them on, but everything else about this is a must for traveling and not losing or tangling up your jewelry.

LOVE IT!
Size: Large (8.2"W*4.2"D*2.4"H), Color: Beige
I love it. It’s very pretty and simple, in a good way. I plan to use it for all my jewelry and not just for travel. I like that it has a lot of hooks for necklaces and plenty of space for earring and rings. The fabric inside and out seem to be good quality. It’s well made and zips easily. The structure is sturdy as well. The color (white) is just as depicted. I think I got the larger size but it doesn’t feel bulky at all. I like that it comes with an extra pouch for bulkier items. It’s one of the best jewelry boxes I’ve had!
