Since their formation in London in 1976, the four members of Wire have maintained and advanced a musical project whcih treats the creative potential of a rock band as a fluid, amorphous medium.  As removed from self-conscious intellectualism as they are from the inherent conservatism of much rock music, Wire employ their unique, endlessly restless and risk-taking creativity to question every aspect of songwriting, recording and performance.  They delight and disturb in equal measure, troubleshooting the circuitry of perfect pop, or patrolling the limits of focused experimentalism. 

In terms of working together as Wire, the group's members disbanded in 1980, reformed in 1985, disbaded in 1992 and reformed for the second time in 200. Such sabbaticals from their career as Wire have served to sharpen the group's edge and focus, updating the tactics with whcih they persue this shared project.
