Wire are an English band formed in 1976 (and intermittently active to the present) by Graham Lewis (bass, vocals), Bruce Gilbert (guitar), Colin Newman (vocals, guitar) and Robert Gotobed (né Grey) (drums). They were originally associated with the punk rock scene, appearing on the Live at the Roxy album - a key early document of the scene - but with hindsight their work, particularly their first three albums, was central to the development of post-punk.
Wire is the seventh album by Christian rock band Third Day. It breaks from the style of the band's previous albums to return to simple, rock and roll-driven melodies. To quote All Music Guide's review of the album, "Third Day has stripped away the shine and gotten back to the grittiness of being a rock & roll band." http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:gbd7yl64xpzb~T1 The album is largely carried by the energetic guitar riffs that pervade its songs, although the forceful lyrics also contribute significantly.
"Wire" is the third track on U2's 1984 album, The Unforgettable Fire. Described by Bono as the "hypodermic needle of the album", it features a fast-paced rhythm section and The Edge's classic ringing guitar sound. Bono reaches one of the highest notes in his singing career in this song, in the line "Cold man, such a cold heart".
