Wire Train 'She Comes On'
Wire Train was a new wave/post punk/alt-rock act active in the 80s and 90s. This is a 1987 12" single. Contains only the one track, which at times bears resemblance to The Cars' 'You Might Think' from 1984, which is problematic. It uses a very similar lead guitar/synth line...only The Cars employed it to better effect 3 years earlier. It's dissimilar enough that it could be an accident, but unfortunately similar enough to always remind me of the superior Cars' track. Anyway, 'She Comes On' isn't all that great. I bought this at a local mom and pop in their used section simply because I enjoy Wire Train's criminally neglected 1984 LP, ...In a Chamber. Buy ...In a Chamber and leave this 12" single on the shelf. The track below is from ...In a Chamber.
