The Black Session

Wire, “The Black Session” (Pink Flag, 2012)
In the first wave of UK punk, Wire simultaneously invented post-punk and hardcore on the album this label is named after. I was told their recent work returned to that sound, and this hard-hitting live album confirms it. This is Wire at their most primal – songs that twist to the left, then slam back on track, head toward you and explode.
Try 3, 10.
