Building upon the foundation of Pink Flag, Wire flushed in a little more synth and keyboards to the mix while maintaining the short punk blasts they were known for.
Combining the run of early singles with more obscure later period tracks underlines the strength and depth that Wire had. Previously released as 7" box set, this Record Store Day 2025 release is the first time for most tracks on LP.
Released as an illegal bootleg back in the early 1980s, Not About To Die were recordings made for EMI as demos for the 1978 and 1979 albums Chairs Missing and 154. Now Wire has chosen to release the album on their own Pinkflag imprint.
Alphabetland is the eighth studio album by American punk rock band X. Released digitally in April 2020, it is their first studio release in 27 years and the first with their original line-up in the past 35 years.
L.A. punk legends X hit on all cylinders and propel themselves into an artistic peak that few bands can sustain over one album much less a number of years. Los Angeles is a landmark album in punk and American rock history.
X was not only one of the most influential bands to crash out of the punk movement of the late '70s; the group's music continues to be sonically groundbreaking today. They made the first great West Coast punk album with it's debut, Los Angeles.
Sun captures X just as they began to integrate country and rockabilly into their sound. It's the end of one era and the beginning of another. Big Black Sun is a glorious record.
If anything, it's like a psychobilly record without any horror or sci-fi themes to hide behind, and it's that kind of grit that makes it one of the saddest and greatest punk albums of all time.
The highly sought after, final studio album from the punk icons received a very limited CD only release in 1995 and has been officially unavailable for the past 27 years!
If the word "gift" in German slyly relates to a kind of poison, nobody said this music was all sweetness and light. Even if it's radiance resonates, four decades later. Xmal Deutschland's 4AD years were a bold and bewitching boomerang. The magic's back.
