Long-standing UK rockers Wire were post-punk before punk was post. Their 1977 album Pink Flag was the first of 13, leading up to most recent effort Change Becomes Us. They’ve influenced the likes of Manic Street Preachers, Sonic Youth, R.E.M. The Urinals and many more – and are now returning to Aussie shores for an Oxford Art Factory show on Thursday February 20, joined by Raw Prawn and Housewives. For your chance to win one of two double passes to the gig, head to the comments below and tell us your favourite Wire album.
