The Wire
Issue 498 - August 2025 + Wire Tapper 68 Free CD

About this item
Former Harry Pussy guitarist, Palilalia label boss and post-punk blues survivor, Bill Orcutt has been especially prolific in recent years. A sustained proliferation of live and studio-based activity has consolidated his profile as both a collaborator, mentor and leading light to a new generation of six-string explorers such as his guitar quartet bandmates Shane Parish, Ava Mendoza and Wendy Eisenberg. By Tony Rettman.
Every copy of the August issue will come with a free CD of The Wire Tapper 68 attached to the cover. This latest edition of the Tapper features a cover designed by Firpal and contains 16 new tracks by Nadah El Shazly, Lyra Pramuk, RG Rough, Bhajan Bhoy, Annie A, Hyperrêve + CoH and more.
