Piano Wire Tickets

Piano Wire are the new band from Sym and Andy, still smouldering from the wreckage of Eighties Matchbox B Line Disaster’s final uncontrolled detonation. Sean and Tim fill out the four here and balance the scales.

The band have been tipped by The Quietus, Clash, Radio 1, Xfm, 6Music, Artrocker, DrownedInSound, The Line Of Best Fit and more.

Their “excellent debut” record, The Genius Of The Crowd, a “lurid post-punk gem”, packs in 8 great songs in under 24 minutes, thrilling and shaking from the off with the “delicious pop-tinged rock-threat” of I’ll Kill You’s 136 seconds of breathless escape.
It balances the shaking and helpless Are You The Vaccine? and Into The Orchid “conjuring up a veritable shitstorm” with the Elliot Smith-y melodic wordplay of Blue Canyon Eyes‘ beautifully scarred vistas and the dizzy swaggering of Fossils and Superstar.
