Nicky Wire releases his debut album A delicate mix of ragged art punk and romantic poetry. Featuring the singles Break My Heart Slowly, I Killed The Zeitgeist and The Shining Path.
It's always good to read others opinions and views..We have gathered together a collection of quotes for you from the latest reviews of Nicky Wires Album "I Killed the Zeigeist"
"A delicate mix of ragged art punk and romantic poetry"
John Harris, The Guardian
"Bitter and brave... its maker's anti-everything stance makes it a
future cult gem"
Garry Mulholland, Q
"Patches into the same post-punk grid as Pixies and Psychedelic Furs
to surprisingly vital effect"
Sharon O'Connell, Uncut
"Playing C86 Hyde to Bradfield's stadium Jekyll... I Killed The
Zeitgeist is inventive, sparky, imaginative and - like his bandmate's
The Great Western - bodes very well for a revivified Manic Street
Preachers."
David Quantick, Word
"The lack of frills add a nihilistic edge... Wire's words transcend
the odd mix of spoken-word intors, graceful rock guitars and eccentric
post punk rhythms." Betty Clarke, The Guardian "Impressively unpolished, this collection possesses quirky charm."
Steve Jelbert, The Times
"So this vanity project not only surpasses expectation, it's actually
ace. Best Manics album since Everything Must Go? Possibly." Tom
Pinnock, NME

I put up galleries on my page of your last show in the US in Boston, MA and your appearance at Newbury Comics. Thanks again for coming back and I hope to see you soon.
Thanks for the amazing and unforgettable show in Boston last night and the performance at Newbury Comics. I'll be posting photos of both events on my page shortly. Hope to see you again very soon.
Hi Nicky! It was a dream come true to see you and the boys in Minneapolis Sept. 30th! I traveled from Omaha, NE a short 6 hours to see you. Oh, I was the one who told you to watch for a message from me!
hello nicky! thank you so much again from the bottom of my heart for coming to my city and playing all my favourite songs! oh and by the way i was the guy who gave you the dvd. - horatio x
"We were joy, we were fun, we were seasons in the sun; Life Becoming a Landslide", haha, I just listening to that gig in Brussel, gotta love your quotes. Nirvana, right? ;)
21 days to the gig in NY! :D
ps. There's a The Clash song that you DEFINITELY should cover. Yes, you, Mr. Nicky Wire singing. If I met you, I'll tell you which one. ;P
I was so (positively) shocked with your confession for the Guardian that you like Take That! Now I feel absolved (in spite of all the other bands/singers I listen to besides Manic Street Preachers and you) and can await salvation in peace ;) Plus, of course, plan some sedicious action inspired by your blog ;P
Already booked my flight to NY so I can attend the Manics gig in October. Yeah, I'm coming all the way from Brazil to have the honor of seeing you guys live!
It's such a pity you or Manics won't come to Brazil. =/ But sooner or later I'll live in London so hopefully I'll be able to see live the enchantly creative, open-minded Mr Nicholas Allen Wire! x
Oh boy, I hate to know when you're ill. :/ It hurts on me! I really, really hope you're feeling better now. All my best wishes and positive vibes, luv ya! x
