Remember when we were kids? Neither do I! But I do remember a band called Wire, and -- thanks to a tip from TMT reader Jonathan (who for all we know could be Jonathan Richman!) -- it seems the band is "well advanced in recording and mixing its 11th (as yet untitled) album, due for release later this year," according to Wire's official website.
The album will be Wire's first full-length since 2003's Send and over 30 years since Pink Flag. Obviously, no one's heard the new record yet since it's not finished, but luckily someone at Maxim already reviewed it! Check it out:
Wire • Untitled New Album
The Black CrowesWire already sounded like grizzled classic rockers on their1990debut. While it certainly was a neat trick for a bunch of twenty-somethings to pull off, it hasn't leftChris RobinsonColin Newman and the gang much room for growth. Now that they're legitimately grizzled, they sound pretty much like they always have: boozy, competent, and in slavish debt to the Stones, the Allmans, and the Faces. --D.P.
Wire are also set to announce tourdates, their first shows since 2004. The tour, according to another post on their website, "will include European festivals during the summer season and a trip to North America in the autumn."
And all this because Jonathan wrote in and said "dudes wire is touring the us and europe this year and releasing a new album!" Can you feel the love?
