Fighting With Wire

I listened to Fighting With Wire purely based upon their name (come on, it is really fucking cool!) quite a time before the release of their debut album. The only tracks I had were some poor quality session tracks they had one for a radio but I still listened religiously. Eventually they drifted out of my radar due to their release taking ages. Then one day me and my friend were driving along in his car, and I'm looking through his CD collection. I stumble across an album with some pretty tasty artwork, and the words 'Fighting With Wire - Man Vs Monster' written across the front. My jaw suddenly hit the floor, the album opened with a re-recorded version of one of those radio sessions. It is fantastic. Every song sticks in your head. Every guitar riff has you air-guitaring along. Every drum fill has you wishing you could pick up some sticks of your own. FWW hail from somewhere in Ireland, but you wouldn't think that if you listened to their awesome hard-rock. I've not had the chance to see these boys live yet, but they are definitely of the bands for me to check out over the Reading '08 weekend!
