Fighting With Wire emerged from the ever creative Northern Ireland music
scene in 2003, the brainchild of guitarist Cahir OıDoherty (Jetplane Landing
/ Clearshot) and drummer Craig McKean (Clearshot). An idealistic bunch,
theyıve since done what rock bands are meant to do: they wrote a bunch of
songs, and took to the road. The last three years has seen them play shows
with the likes of Reuben, Biffy Clyro, Million Dead, Seafood, YCNI:M and
Future Of The Left, racking up hundreds of miles and honing their live show
into a ferocious explosion in the process. After putting out a number of
limited edition DIY singles, they took a breather at the end of 2006 and
finally started work on their long awaited debut album. Recorded in Northern
Ireland and finally completed in mid-2007, Man Vs Monster is a dynamic beast
of a record raging out of your speakers one moment yet gentle and
intricate the next, and all without losing focus of whatıs important: the
song. Whatıs next for Fighting With Wire? More touring and more songs, we
would expect.
