Northern Ireland's finest Fighting With Wire will be back on the road for their first tour in over a year as they prepare to unleash their new album ‘Bones Of The Twilight’ in 2011. Fighting With Wire have also announced they will be selling a new EP entitled ‘I am Ursus' exclusively at all UK shows, giving fans a taster of what’s to
come on the new album.
Fighting With Wire emerged from the ever creative Northern Ireland music scene in 2003, the brainchild of guitarist Cahir O’Doherty and drummer Craig McKean. An idealistic bunch, they’ve since done what rock bands are meant to do: they wrote a bunch of songs, and took to the road. The last three years has seen them play shows with the likes of Reuben, Biffy Clyro, Million Dead, Seafood, YCNI:M and Future Of The Left, racking up hundreds of miles and honing their live show into a ferocious explosion in the process.
After putting out a number of limited edition DIY singles, they took a breather at the end of 2006 and finally started work on their long awaited debut album. Recorded in Northern Ireland and finally completed in mid-2007, ‘Man Vs Monster’ is a dynamic beast of a record – raging out of your speakers one moment yet gentle and intricate the next, and all without losing focus of what’s important: the song.
For the last year FWW have been writing and recording their 2nd album 'Bones Of The Twilight' in Nashville with producer Nick Raskulinecz, famous for work with rock giants such as Alice In Chains, Foo Fighters and Deftones. With the album due for release early next year, the band are about to embark on a tour of UK and Ireland showcasing new material from the album.
