Emerging as part of the post-punk scene of the late 1970s, members of the band Wire began as London art school students. This artist mentality could later be seen in their music, which while often labeled as "punk," also contained elements of prog-rock, pop, and art rock. The band found great success in the last part of the decade, releasing three wildly popular albums (PINK FLAG, CHAIRS MISSING, and 154) that helped to reinvent their image. With each album, Wire moved into new territory, pushing punk to its limits.
