A disastrous trip to SXSW in 2012 basically split up Matthew Melton's band Bare Wires, the excellent garage punk trio he led for four years and that released three albums. After the rest of the band left, he regrouped in May of 2012 under the name Warm Soda, with bassist Chase Oren, guitarist Rob Good, and drummer Ian McBrayer on board. Their sound was similar to that of Bare Wires, but it felt even more like the razor-sharp power pop songs were being blasted out of a tiny AM radio in the summer of 1976.
