Fighting With Wire New Single and Support Slots With Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly!
Since their formation in 2003, Fighting With Wire have built up a increasingly dedicated fan-base who have not only been attracted by the bands ability to write kick-ass rock songs, but also their high-impact, no-holds-barred live shows.
That live show has won the band many plaudits - 'Derry's Fighting With Wire play like they're already headlining stadiums... with their arsenal of big f**k-off choruses, it would be a travesty if that dream didn't become a reality' - KKKK Kerrang! - and is now beginning to make the wider world sit up and take notice.
Fighting With Wire will take to the road as support for Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly! and I Was A Cub Scout at the end of March on an 8-date tour, as well as exploding into a 25-date headline tour of their own in May hitting venues up and down the UK and Ireland.
To coincide, the Derry based 3-piece will be releasing the Zane Lowe-sponsored ‘Everyone Needs A Nemesis’ on May 5th as a limited edition 7” single. To make this release as special for their fans as it is for the band, FWW are encouraging punters to send in a picture of their choice to be used as the artwork for their very own, bespoke, copy of the release.
Fighting With Wire are currently enjoying what has already been a massive year for the band. With their debut album ‘Man Vs Monster‘ on our shelves, monster tours ahead, a very special single release, and a live BBC Maida Vale Live Session still to come - this band are gearing up for what should be a colossal 2008.
