Wire have always evolved. No sooner had they hit us with the proto-punk of 12XU back in 1977 than they veered off-course to define post-punk with Chairs Missing and 154. Over the course of the next four decades they have continued to reach new artistic heights while remaining true to their experimental aesthetic, which is one of constant reinvention around their core principles.
They are, as John Peel once famously said of another group that came out of punk as a fully formed post-punk band, always different, always the same.
