Wire Jesus

"I feel it is our duty to speak on behalf of the band to let you know that Wire Jesus are calling it a day.



We'd like to thank each and every one of you who has stuck with us, come to the gigs and bought our music, but most of all it was the reaction we felt from you that encouraged us to go on for as long as we did. Your messages and comments meant the world to us. There has also been many gracious bands who have told us how much we've influenced them and you can't ask for more than that as a musician.



As any band will tell you, it's a hard slog and we've watched many Reading bands come and go, while we kept evolving. It's time for us to evolve once again into our lives and so with many fond memories we say.



Adieu.



Love to you all,



Mike & Amy

& Wire Jesus. xx "



"Wire Jesus are special. Very special indeed."Linda Serck bbc.co.uk



"They are a highly impressive group, combining the usual acoustic rock accoutrements with accordions and cellos. If this, along with the male/female lead vocals, suggests an affinity with bands such as the Arcade Fire, then good, as on a number of songs they captured the dramatic tension, musical sophistication and epic aspiration of the Canadian wonders." oxfordbands.com



"Wire Jesus have it all. People call it X-factor and that is perhaps the best description. Somewhere between their emotional intensity, sheer ragged beauty (the best kind), stories of human significance and insignificance and heart wrenching melodies can be found a dominant artistry, a decadent coherency, and above all a very real talent which at the moment burns very bright indeed.

"Success will surely follow."The Morning Star



"Too good to be true. If only it were a fair world we could never afford such a band."Music On The Hill Festival
