Wire Debuting with Pink Flag in 1977, Wire were players on the UK punk scene but it was their minimalism and stark soundscapes that differentiated them form the pack. They were one of the main influences on
the post-punk scene. They split in the 805 only to come back with Manscape, which had a more electronic
sound with drummer Robert Gotobed even firing himself when he realised drum machines could cover his
input. They reformed properly in 1999 releasing new material, including new album Object 47 earlier this year.
