Description

Wire's story is one of constant remaking and remodelling. Despite being associated with punk, post-punk, and art-punk, their innovative uniqueness defies reduction to a single identity. This book provides an in-depth appraisal of Wire's diverse output from 1977 up until the present. Tracing the group's projects against the backdrop of their complex creative relationships, Read & Burn seeks to do justice to Wire's highly influential body of work. The result is a nuanced exploration of artistic endeavour and commercial sustainability. By examining Wire's entire output, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of the most influential British bands to emerge during the punk era.
