Wire return with their 15th studio album on March 31st, marking the 40th anniversary of their debut performance. Though the record may be released on an important anniversary, don't expect a throw-back record -- Silver/Lead continues the band's impressive run of thoroughly vital, relevant, and timeless music. The fantastic new 10 track album is streaming ahead of its release -- head over to Noisey to enjoy all ten tracks.
To coincide with the album's release and 40th anniversary, the post-punk titans head stateside to headline DRILL:LA. The three day Wire-curated festival also includes Bob Mould, Fitted (ft Mike Watt), Part Time Punks, Chasms, Noveller, the Pinkflag Guitar Orchestra, and more. Wire also play a handful of other (non-festival) North American dates. View the tour itinerary below:
