2020 – THE YEAR AHEAD – OUR PICKS FOR THIS YEAR

As 2020 stretches out in front of us like a feral cat demanding love and attention, here’s a round up of releases we’re looking forward to this year at Silent Radio towers. Some relatively new bands, some mega huge artists, but all ones we think are worth getting your ears primed for – so, say […]
Forty years after stepping onto the musical battlefield with one of the best albums of the late seventies in ‘Pink Flag’, WIRE return with an album that can be summed up with one phrase: more of the same. It’s better than their last release, the weirdly titled ‘Nocturnal Koreans’, but the plodding nature of many […]

ALBUM: WIRE – SILVER/LEAD

LIVE: WIRE – 29/04/2015

– ACADEMY 3, MANCHESTER – Wire is a one-way journey, as singer and guitarist Colin Newman says. A deep, disturbing, not necessarily pleasant but always unique and meaningful one. As soon as the band enters the stage at Manchester Academy 3, the atmosphere gets thicker and they take the audience deep into a frenetic hypnosis. […]
English rock band WIRE probably have the strongest début ever conceived. Their 1977 album, Pink Flag, is an absolute fucking classic and has garnered much praise and respect from music fans and artists alike. It’s a shame then that their latest collection of songs simply entitled, WIRE, is nowhere near the standard set so high […]

Album Review: Wire – Wire

ROYAL BLOOD, THE WAR AND DRUGS, THE CHARLATANS AND MORE FOR 6 MUSIC FESTIVAL

Royal Blood, The War on Drugs and The Charlatans are among the acts to be announced for the second BBC Radio 6 Music festival. This year’s festival will be held on Tyneside, at the O2 Academy in Newcastle and the Sage in Gateshead on February 21, 22 and 23. Last year’s inaugural festival was held […]
Hospitality return with the follow-up to their glowing 2012 debut with a darker, richer collection of eclectic avant pop in Trouble. Taking unexpected yet satisfying turns, the new album sees the band offer up a moodier palette, with more instances of space and silence, looser arrangements and more open production. The album draws on the […]

NEWS: HOSPITALITY – NEW LP ‘TROUBLE’ + LISTEN TO ‘ROCKETS AND JETS’

LIVE: WIRE – 26/09/2013

– GORILLA, MANCHESTER – Wire are one of those bands that you discover through reading reviews of other bands. For me it happened in the earlier 2000’s, when ‘art-rock’ was making big waves through bands such as Franz Ferdinand and The Futureheads, and every review seemed to reference these bands from days of yore called […]
