The band was formed in 2006 and after a few line up changes, the band released an EP titled "The Roots Run Deeper" on DSD Records (imprint of Deep South Records) in 2006. The band followed up in 2007 independently releasing "To Write on the Hearts Of Others". After touring behind the disc for a year, the band went into the studio again in December of 2008 to record "Clouds Make the Best Cover"; which singer Nick Driver states: "Our band is one of those few bands out there that tries to make different CDs with each release. We don't believe in remaking the same CD over and over because we'll fall into the category of being something that's easily replaceable-and we are shooting to not be. This is our art. These are our words. This is our hearts".
The band has shared the stage with My American Heart, Alesana, Badfish, Less Than Jake, Throwdown, Evaline, Afroman, Fosterchild, playing in the summer of 2007 on the Warped Tour with acts Coheed and Cambria, Underoath, Pennywise, Tiger Army and Paramore-this list proving the overall viability and versatility of the band's sound.

"Skywire's innovative brand of rock music is paving a new direction in the North Carolina music scene." -96.1 FM
"With a scene full of Underoath & Glassjaw rip off bands, Skywire's the ONE band stepping on new territory with the ability to write great songs. With the ability and craftsmanship to play as soft and beautiful as music can be, then as aggressive as any hardcore band out today; this is something special."-N.C. Scenester
"These Triangle natives blend edgy guitars with electronic backdrops and an occasional scream, making their band one that is quickly and quietly turning heads in the Raleigh area" -The Technician
Skywires music holds passion and topics about love, whats beyond this life and artistic views. They are looked at as being very art based in their lyrics. They have managed to blend an underground sound into a mainstream fit that is working wonders for them! -Thanh Nien Daily
"Skywire has played at the Luna Bean in Wilson, NC a few times and always put on one hell of a show. They are original and smart and play with an intensity unmatched by other bands." William (Management), The Luna Bean
"...after a spin or two through head phones, the layering of instruments and busy bass lines warrant the "experimental" label they've been given. They have that tension building with a controlled release feel that brought to mind the Deftones..." -East Coast Romper
