131: Wire - Pink Flag (1977)

<p>1 2 X U! As punk was just beginning to take off in the UK, Wire was already looking ahead, itching to push the genre toward artsier, more abstract frontiers. Their 1977 LP <i>Pink Flag </i>planted the seeds for post-punk and hardcore before most kids had even had a chance to spike their first mohawk. Boasting a dizzying 21 tracks at an economical 35 minutes, Wire packed more into one album than some of their peers managed in a career. Join Dan, Phil, Mike, and Rich as they discuss how it holds up as one of the boldest debuts of the punk era. </p><p>Cohosts: Dan Watkins, Phil Maddox, Mike DeFabio, Rich Bunnell</p><p>Complete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/131-wire-pink-flag-1977</p><p>Discord & Rhyme's merch store: <a href="http://tee.pub/lic/discordpod" target="_blank">http://tee.pub/lic/discordpod</a></p><p>Support the podcast! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/discordpod" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/discordpod</a></p>
