Jetsam-Flotsam is partnering with One Percent Press to release Ithaca, NY’s why+the+wires new album Flame Failures in the Summer 2015.

Since forming in Ithaca, NY in 2008, why+the+wires has been delivering a dynamic post-punk frenzy that gets more focused with every album. The songs are tight-wound, angular affairs, moody yet melodic. Rough-throated gospels, shambling shout-alongs, insistent rave-ups and brooding instrumental stretches. Their influences are best pinpointed by geography: San Diego, Chicago, Washington, D.C. Comparisons have ranged from Hot Snakes and Sweep the Leg Johnny to Archers of Loaf and June of 44.
