Fighting with Wire are a three-piece, melodic, post-hardcore act hailing from Derry, Northern Ireland. The group's diverse style is strongly influenced by the advent of the '90s grunge scene, with Nirvana, early foo fighters, Jimmy Eat World and Weezer particularly notable influences, as well as more dissonant emo and hardcore punk acts such as Fugazi and At the Drive-In. Their technical yet accessible sound has invited comparison with contemporaries such as Biffy Clyro and Hundred Reasons. Fighting with Wire formed in 2003 as a side project for guitarist and vocalist Cahir O'Doherty of Derry/London band Jetplane Landing and Clearshot, and drummer Craig McKean (also of Clearshot). The lineup would remain fluid for some time before bassist Jamie King became the third permanent member. Signing to Smalltown America, a D.I.Y. independent label formed by Jetplane Landing's Andrew Ferris, the group released a series of limited-run singles and contributed to compilations released by the label. Tours of the U.K. and Ireland.
Fighting with Wire recorded their debut album in Northern Ireland at manor park studios during 2007. Fighting with Wire were picked up by major label Atlantic Records Jan 2008 with a view to distributing Man vs. Monster worldwide, the album was released in the U.K. and Ireland in March of 2008.
