WIRE - CHANGE BECOMES US



Intensive Care Unified
By: Rayn de Cervantes Avellanosa



Besides being English and having been in the music business when I was just around five months old, Wire is one of the most influential underrated bands of their generation.  The punk rock of their time was utile crucial to what has to become what indie music is today.  The early and the late 70s I'd say has produced quite a number of legendary bands such as The Ramones, The Cure, The Clash to name a few.  Some of these bands still thrive to produce music not because they ought to but because they just do.

Wire's career spanned almost for four decades now.  They have a great following considering that they drift in and out of the music scene.  Some of their fans that express fondness for the group include The Smith's Johnny Marr, Guided By Voices' Robert Pollard, Helmet's Page Hamilton, Robert Smith, Sonic Youth and R.E.M. .  This 2013 and 13th release, "Change Becomes Us" has been well received by critics and followers alike.
