I saw Wire live in 1978 but didn't have any records. In the past 6 months I've bought 5 of their albums and they are all brilliant. You are never too old to surprise yourself !

[Trainy]

The legends still sound great and they stay busier than bands half their age.

[bobsoldrecords]

Us OG Punks are old buggers now but those of us born before 1966 are still the real f***ing deal😄

[thefutureisnow]

"154" is one of my absolutely favourite albums ever.

[baronoflivonia.]

Something atmospheric about Wire's sound. Always stellar guitar tones.

[jimhinkley]

40 years a contemporary band... how true that is

[ernestotoccalino]

Eternal and seminal band ...
From "Pink Flag" to this incredible "Silver Lead", a trail marked by talent and consistency.
Wire.
The best, by far !!

[teriakamoto]

So very nice to find this after all the years. My older brother told me about them. Said it was thd best punk album un ever. Pink Flag.

[morsecoda]

I wish there was a "proper" recording of "The Art Of Persistence" because the way they perform that song live is brilliant. One of my favorite moments from the Wire show in Cambridge, MA that I attended.

[MrSfein]

I only got to see them once, at the Paradise in Boston....finding this is a real Xmas treasure

[riokaixo]

My favorite : The Art of Assistance . Great feelings, Brillant !

[howardrowan]

My favourite band... Followed them all my life..Had The pleasure of seeing them live..Never rested on there laurels and keep on morphing..The best going around...

[tonyevans]

Always never less than challenging, this band has been inspiring me for decades now. New record is incredibly good

[pippolacoste]

Wow, Wire are still rocking! Come to Aldershot again!!!
And my total admiration and respect to KEXP first of all to get them in and then for the amazing production! The studio is beautiful!

[MichaelGarland]

Short, vital punchy tunes. Great to see the raw energy is sustained into their dotage. Top outfit

[RBrodey]

Saw them in LA years ago. The opening act played Wire covers, their more well known songs. Brilliant idea. Hands down my top 3 bands!

[jairlaiter]

How genius is Wire!!!
Art of persistence total surprise

[Johnny-lrjt]

That they're still pumping out such quality material after all this time is incredible.

[jean-marcblond]

Felt wired back to my early days - took me back to one of the best concert I ever attended at the Hammersmith Odeon. Great !

[jawoody]

I've been reading the book "Read & Burn." It's likely the best and most conclusive book on Wire. And thank God Robert Grey is here playing drums after those dismal 90's days of "Manscape" and "Wir!"
