"Wire Jesus sound like the house band of Wuthering Heights. Following the tradition of Mercury Rev and Arcade Fire, this six-piece combine small-town folk with rock theatrics. Armed with acoustic and electric guitars, front duo Mike Murray and Amy Barton clash cultures.success will surely follow." The Morning Star - February 2006


The year has started on a high for Berkshire six-piece Wire Jesus, acclaimed live performances and their debut single (on Josaka Music) make the coming months an exciting prospect.

With the considerable production talents of Adam Whittaker (The Rakes/New Rhodes/The Race) behind the debut Double A-side single Wire Jesus have shown themselves to be one of the most original and unique bands emerging today. 'The Intruder (Make It Better)' creeps and crawls until bursting into a blistering passage of cathartic rock. Flipside 'Another Day' - as featured here on the Shifty Disco Download Club - twists and twirls around lovelorn melody, a work song for the broken-hearted.

"To me, they're as magical as Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' - singer Amy playing Titania the Fairy Queen and co-singer Michael, along with the rest of the band, part of an elfin troupe" bbc.co.uk - January 2006


Wire Jesus have just triumphantly returned to Reading in support of My Latest Novel and Semifinalists. April sees a support with V2 signing My Luminaries and a tour is currently being scheduled for May/June.

Recent live dates have seen Wire Jesus at a diverse range of venues: anything from an instore at the south's largest music shop to Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall. Recent supports with Martin Grech, American folksters HEM and Pure Reason Revolution have gained Wire Jesus critical acclaim for their mesmerizing vocal harmonies, frenetic live performances and well crafted songs full of menace and beauty.
