Wire ready to Joust & Jostle
Veteran rockers launch single and announce self-titled album for April

Veteran UK rockers Wire have launched a new single and announced their self-titled 14th album will launch on April 13.
The track titled Joust & Jostle from the record can be heard below and they’ll take to the road across the UK the same month to promote their new material.
Included in the live run is another round of their Drill festivals, this time taking place at the Lexington, London on April 14-18.
