Wire are an English rock band. They were formed in London in October 1976 by Colin Newman (vocals, guitar), Graham Lewis (bass, vocals), Bruce Gilbert (guitar), George Gill (lead guitar) and Robert Grey (aka Robert Gotobed; drums). They were originally associated with the punk rock scene, appearing on The Roxy London WC2 album, and were instrumental in the development of post-punk, while their debut album, Pink Flag, was influential for hardcore punk. Wire are regarded as an influential band within the art punk and post-punk genres. Their sound evolved from an early noise rock style into a more complex and atmospheric approach characterized by the increased use of guitar effects and synthesizers, particularly on Chairs Missing (1978) and 154 (1979). Throughout their career the band have been noted for experimentation with song structures and arrangements.
