SOUNDWIRE
BIOGRAPHY
Soundwire are a psychedelic / alternative band based in South Wales / Bristol, UK. Formed by former Sweetest Ache vocalist Simon Court and guitarist Peter Moore, their unique and exploratory sound developed drawing inspiration from the fuzzy riffs of 60's US garage-punk, the motor-rhythms and guitar-synth fusion of 70's 'krautrock', and the reverb-drenched, hypnotic sonic stylings of the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Death In Vegas, and many more.
​
Their self-titled debut album was mixed and produced by Thighpaulsandra (Spiritualized / Coil / Hawkwind), and received critical acclaim from Drowned In Sound, Louder Than War, Buzz Magazine, etc., and enjoyed frequent airplay on BBC Radio as well as numerous indie and alternative radio stations worldwide.
Soundwire have just completed their second 10-track studio album, which has been mixed and produced by Thighpaulsandra and mastered by Ian Button (Death In Vegas) and is due for release by Sister 9 Recording (UK) and Little Cloud Records (US) in March 2025. To date, 3 singles have been released from the album: 'Shake The Fever' - released digitally on Mine Mine Mine Records; ‘Satellite’, and ‘Degrees of Separation’ - both of which were released as 7” singles on Fuzzed-Up / Astromoon Records.
​
Tracks from the forthcoming album feature on 3 compilation LPs: ‘Another Sun’ on ‘Under The Bridge 1’, and ‘Everything Is Real’ on ‘Under The Bridge 2’, released by Skep Wax Records, as well as a special remix of ‘Degrees of Separation’ by Ian Button which was included on ‘Lovely Ugly’ from REPEAT Records, showcasing the best bands and artists currently in South Wales.
​
Soundwire played extensively throughout the UK last year, including at the Bristol Harbour Festival, Swansea Fringe, and Under The Bridge all-dayer in Bristol, and have been regular performers at Cardiff Psych and Noise Festival and The Strange Daze Festival in Cardiff.
