Black Wire are an English punk and indie rock band from Leeds, UK. The band members are Daniel Wilson (vocals), Si McCabe (guitars, BVs, and other noise)Tom Greatorex (bass) and Danny Prescott (Drums).
Black Wire formed in January 2003 and played their first gig within a month of forming, at the Leeds club night Pigs. They then went on to tour extensively playing with such bands as Bloc Party, The Libertines, HARD-Fi, The Cribs, Kaiser Chiefs and The Futureheads. Debut single 'Attack! Attack! Attack!' was awarded NME single of the week followed by highly positive reviews of later singles when they were released. The start of 2006 saw a European tour taking in Italy, France and Germany and also an American tour which included San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.
Intitially playing with a drum machine the trio of Wilson, Greatorex and McCabe have added Danny Prescott on drums after one rehearsal.
Dan Wilson, having attended Art school, designed and drew the artwork for the first 3 singles.
Their debut, eponymously titled new album was released in early 2005 released on 48 Crash, a label which they left in 2006 due to inconsistencies in the label's input and work ethic. They are currently working on new material set for release in 2007.
