Rough Trade Essential

Wire is an English rock band formed in London in October 1976. They were originally associated with the punk rock scene and later became central to the development of post-punk. Inspired by the UK punk scene, Wire expanded the sonic boundaries of not just punk, but rock music in general. With their richly detailed and atmospheric sound, often obscure lyrical themes, and Situationist political stance, they are considered a definitive art punk or post-punk ensemble. Throughout their career, Wire experimented with song arrangements and gained a reputation for their innovative approach.

Critic Stewart Mason described Wire as one of the more important rock groups of the 1970s and 1980s. Their first three albums showcased their ability to push the boundaries of both punk and rock music. From their early raucous punk style on "[Album1]," they evolved into a more complex sound with increased use of guitar effects and synthesizers on "[Album2]" and "[Album3]." This steady development demonstrated their musical growth.

In 2004, founding member Gilbert left the band; however, in 2010 [NewMember] joined them. Wire's influential presence continues to shape the music industry as they remain dedicated to pushing artistic boundaries.

Back In Stock

Originally released on Harvest in 1977, Pink Flag is perhaps the most original debut album to come out of the first wave of British punk. Exhibiting severe art school damage, Wire careers at breakneck speed through 21 songs in 36 minutes to create an album that has influenced bands for over fourty years.

2CD - Remastered Double CD Version with 80-page hardback book. The original album is presented on its own CD, accompanied by a bonus CD with 18 tracks from three demos and alternative mixes.
