A Walk on the Wired Side is the fourth studio album by The Flaming Stars. This album is different from the previous albums because more members of the band, besides Max (the primary songwriter), had contributed more towards song writing. Also, the Flaming Stars borrowed less from artists like Nick Cave and instead began to create their own style in the underground music scene.
