A Real Live Wire

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) October 8, 2008 4:04 pm
Toronto's The Two Koreas have drawn a lot of comparisons to The Fall, so it was personally fortuitous that they were chosen to open for British veterans Wire at Lee's. I've only seen The Fall once — on the same bill as Wire as part of a festival staged for 10,000 people at London, England's Finsbury Park in 1987 — so I thought it was appropriate...

Wire — Red Barked Tree

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) January 19, 2011 4:03 pm
Wire might get pigeonholed into being one of the very first "post-punk" bands, but throughout their career they've proven they're much more than that. They've experimented with electronic elements (1987's The Ideal Copy and 1990's Manscape) and bits of dance-pop (1988's A Bell Is A Cup... Until It Is Struck), and I'd argue their sinister...

In an attempt to be new, I’ve gone old yesterday by stomping galumphing down two sets of stairs to the basement and back again with two stacks of CDs from my over-burgeoning CD collection. After almost a decade and half of purchasing receiving review copies of CDs, I have somewhere between 1500 and 2000 albums, many of which I haven’t listened...

Wire's 47th Release Will Be Spotlighted During Sled Island Festival

in
By Ryan Kelpin (CHARTattack) April 14, 2008 4:30 pm
British art-punk legends Wire have recorded their 11th studio album. But, as its title implies, they've released a lot more than that over their off-and-on 32-year career. The album is titled Object 47, as it represents the 47th release in the Wire discography. It's their first full-length since 2003's Send, though they issued the four-song...

in
By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) October 19, 2007 5:00 pm
British post-punk heroes Wire proved that they weren't past their prime with the first two installments of their critically acclaimed Read & Burn series of EPs, so hopes are high for the third volume. Read & Burn 03 will be released on Nov. 12 through the band's Pinkflag label, which is named after their landmark 1977 album. The four-...

Wire Reissuing First Three LPs And Early Live Recordings

in
By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) April 11, 2006 5:00 pm
If you've heard early Wire, you'll know that Elastica wouldn't have existed without them. If you haven't, now's your chance. The British band are taking a typically punk approach to reissuing their first three groundbreaking albums, live recordings and a box set on their Pinkflag label on April 25. The remastered versions of Pink Flag (1977...
