Wire are an English rock band, formed in London in October 1976 by Colin Newman (vocals, guitar), Graham Lewis (bass, vocals), Bruce Gilbert (guitar), George Gill (lead guitar) and Robert Grey (aka Robert Gotobed; drums). They were originally associated with the punk rock scene, appearing on The Roxy London WC2 album, and were instrumental to the development of post-punk, while their debut album Pink Flag was influential for hardcore punk.
Change Becomes Us is the thirteenth studio album by British post-punk band Wire. It was released on 25 March 2013 through the band’s own label, Pinkflag. It is the first studio album to feature guitarist Matthew Simms, who initially joined Wire as a touring guitarist in 2010.
