1) The Telewire - Start A Fire

News from Austin, Texas shoegaze / space-rock project Stephen Thurman... 

After a multi-year break, the Telewire is back with a new five song EP. Taking inspiration from the past few years of life, work, and even a few samples from the "other" band's songs, this album does have a more aggressive tone to it than previous releases but still retains a familiar sound the Telewire is known for. And even a nod to the past with a remake of the first song the Telewire ever recorded. All songs written, performed, recorded, and mastered by Stephen Thurman.
