MXican Radio #1: The Wildhearts

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/yourmumsayshi/wildheartsmonsters---1.jpg
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/yourmumsayshi/wildhearts.jpg

"The Wildhearts were truly England's last great rock 'n' roll band..." Kerrang! magazine

"The Wildhearts were the kind of band that the British rock press has wet dreams about: creatively brilliant, completely out-of-control, and utterly doomed from day one. Led by charismatic lunatic..." VH1

"Wildhearts mastermind Ginger knows the value of a bad reputation. And in the eleven years since they bounded into the public ear with their seminal debut "Earth Versus The Wildhearts" they've re-written the book on mischief. Magazine offices wrecked…drugs taken…fights fought…vehicles driven into swimming pools. You name it, The Wildhearts have had their greasy little paws all over it, then got bored with it..." contactmusic.com

This band is probably the most influetial British band of the 90s. This is one of those bands who knew what rock 'n' roll was all about and, even though Ginger's excesses got in the way of success, wrote brilliant songs. I have only been into the band for about a week but I am already hooked and absorbed into the band. This is a band I would highly recommend to ANYBODY.

In August of 1989 David Walsh (AKA.Ginger) created a band called The Wild Hearts. It's original line-up was Snake (vocals), Ginger (guitar), CJ (guitar), Julien Dean (Bass), Andrew 'Stid' Stidolph (drums) And so began of one of the most influential British bands of the 90s. Not soon after the creation of the band they created a demo which was heard by Ric Browde who signed them up to Atco Label. Stid is replaced by Pat Walkers and Ric Browde produces The Wild heart's demos. Snake is replaced Dunken F. Mullet and The Wild Hearts play a low-key support slot at the George Robey in Finsbury Park, London. The gig is billed as a 'Sleaze All Dayer'. In March 1991 Ginger, CJ, Joolz and Pat play Nottingham Rock City as a four-piece, Snake having left the band the previous day. Eventually, after numerous auditions fail to turn up a new vocalist, Ginger takes on lead vocal duties permanently. The Wild Hearts went into the studio in December 1991 and recorded their first EP. The Wild hearts then changed there name to The Wildhearts. The Wildhearts then toured and recorded EPs until they released there debut album Earth Vs. The Wildhearts on the 31st August 1993. This album was a raving success and it was all seemed to be going brilliantly for The Wildhearts until July 1994 when CJ was sacked for unknown reasons. The Wildhearts then hirer Devin Townsend to replace CJ. This is the main jist of the creation of The Wildhearts. I could go into it with far more detail and I could carry on the story but it would take me ages .

If you like the sound of the band from this thread and the mp3s then I highly recommend you go out and buy all The Wildhearts albums starting with The Wildhearts Strike Back. A very good introduction to the band which is a live album with alot of there more famous tracks on. So why are you just sitting there? Get off your ass to the shops and get yourself some Wildhearts! So basically discuss anything in this thread. What you think of The Wildhearts, your favourite albums/song, if you have never heard the Wildhearts before do you like the yousendits and are you going to go out and get some more of there stuff? Also, who else is excited about the re-release of Black Leather mojo?

I had downloaded a few of their songs the other day after seeing them mentioned around here, for some reason they remind me of GTA: VIce City, crusing down the long roads, not a bad thing at all. Good music.

Great thread.

EDIT: Two of the new links are the same.

The stuff on the solo album (bar three songs) was all previously released material, though.

He had more written, I think, but didn't release them at all.
