Black Wire - See The Blood/ Brother We Had A Choice

BLACK WIRE DID THEIR FIRST LIVE PERFORMANCE AS A THREE PIECE WITH A DRUM MACHINE BACK IN 2003 AT THE HI-FI CLUB IN LEEDS, A GIG WHICH BECAME LEGENDARY DUE TO THE NEAR RIOT THEIR FIRST APPEARANCE CAUSED AND WHICH INSPIRED A SONG BY THEIR WEST YORKSHIRE COUSINS KAISER CHIEFS THAT BECAME A MASSIVE HIT LAST YEAR. BIG SHOWS FOLLOWED EVERYWHERE IN THE UK, AS WELL AS SOLD OUT EUROPEANS AND AMERICAN TOURS.
RECORDINGS WERE MADE WITH THE 48 CRASH LABEL IN LEEDS IN LATE 2005,AND FIVE SINGLES APPEARED TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM: ‘ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!’, ‘HARD TO LOVE EASY TO LAY’, ‘SMOKE AND MIRRORS’ AND ‘HUNG UP’, AS WELL AS THEIR EPONYMOUS DEBUT ALBUM.
LATE LAST YEAR THE BAND ADDED A LIVE DRUMMER, WHO GAVE A NEW MATURITY TO THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCES, DESPITE KEEPING THE FRENETIC AND EXCITING ATTITUDE. IT ALSO INFLUENCED THEIR WRITING: BLACK WIRE’S NEW MATERIAL SHOWS THAT THEY ARE COLLECTIVELY MOVING IN A NEW MUSICAL DIRECTION; A NEW FOCUS IS DEVELOPING ON SONGWRITING, ADDING LIGHT AND SHADE TO AN ALREADY STRONG LIVE SOUND.
