Fiercely melodic post-hardcore three piece from Derry, Northern Ireland.

Fighting With Wire released their debut album ‘Man Vs Monster’ through Smalltown America Records in 2008 to widespread critical acclaim.

The band are known for their explosive live shows and have toured relentlessly in the UK, Ireland and throughout Europe, taking in festivals such as Reading, Leeds, Download, Sonisphere, T In The Park, Oxegen, Radio One's Big Weekend, SXSW and CMJ.

The band secured a record deal with Atlantic Records in 2008 which led to them linking up with Grammy award winning producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Deftones) to record the follow up to Man Vs Monster in Nashville, Tennessee.

Fighting With Wire will be on tour with 90s hardcore heroes Helmet in March/April 2012 throughout Europe and the UK to promote their eagerly anticipated second album, due for release late Spring 2012.
