WIRE

Having hit a peak of inventiveness and productivity, Wire have been playing strings of sold-out shows and achieving career-best album sales, as well as being cited as a strong influence by yet another generation of bands, including Parquet Courts and Savages.

Wire’s latest album is Silver/Lead, a set of songs which encompasses the optimistic dazzle of ‘Diamonds In Cups’, the menacing widescreen grandeur of ‘Playing Harp For The Fishes’ and the breakneck-paced guitar pop of ‘Short Elevated Period’.

Although their 15th studio album is being released on the 40th anniversary of Wire’s debut, Silver/Lead has nothing to do with the past and everything to do with the future.
