I'm not that familiar with the Wildhearts but I like what I've heard. My favourite songs are Vanilla Radio, Suckerpunch and Caffeine Bomb. And they come from about 10 miles where I live. :thumb:

Partly as un upload for MXican, partly as a bump, and partly in wondering if anyone else likes any of The Wildhearts' members' other bands, here's a few songs by Ginger's 'main' project while the Wildhearts were broken up. I know magik likes them, at least.

Good work, and good band :)
I don't suppose you could upload some Clam Abuse stuff for me, if you have the time?

I love you man, those songs are amazing :thumb:

You're welcome :)

Yep, sure. Just give me a bit of time and I'll upload a few for you.

In the meantime, here's an upload of a promo video for Sonic Shake.

Kinda pointless, but I just rediscovered it hiding on my computer a couple of days ago, and it has a nice story behind it, so I kind of feel I have to upload it. The sound's a bit murky, but it's only 8.5MB.

Okay, here's some Clam Abuse. Beware though, it's very weird stuff :) Two of these tracks don't feature either of the two collaborators on vocals, either, so don't be surprised.

Those four are on the album (incidentally, two of them don't feature either of the two collaborators on vocals, so don't think I've uploaded the wrong thing - hopefully I haven't); this last one is a remix of one of the album tracks (which I prefer to the album version) which appeared on an Infernal Records sampler.

Cheers :)

I dowloaded the Clam Abuse ones but am listening to Silverginer 5 at the moment :). Will update you with opinions later

No problem, just glad they're getting some downloads :) (and that I'm again able to upload them, naturally).

Well they were...interesting

Hah. Told you they were odd. I quite like the album, actually, but it's far from being any of the best stuff he (Ginger) has been involved in.

Meh, it was alright. No where near as good as siliverginger 5 or The Wildhearts

I really like Clam abuse. They're not as good as Super s[font=]h[/font]it 666, though :)

I haven't heard Super s[I]h[/I]it 666 :(

Those guys sound pretty friggin' cool. Oh so many new bands to check out just spawned by this thread :(

Well, Ginger is a busy man.

Can you name some more projects he is involved with please :)

I've only heard of Silverginger 5, which I only just realised is a Ginger side project :eek:, and also the solo stuff "Ginger" with the album "Break In The Weather."

[QUOTE=MXican]Can you name some more projects he is involved with please :)[/QUOTE]

Not sure if there's all that much left to mention (including what the posts above me have said). Before The Wildhearts he spent some time in the Quireboys, but I don't know if he got around to recording anything with them. And he wrote the majority of a song on the Backyard Babies album [i]Making Enemies is Good[/i]. Other than that, I don't think I know anything more that Ginger's directly involved in.

Yeah, I read that too. I wish I had my copy of that album here so I could check; for some reason I never did. At least I can still listen to it, I suppose; it's a reasonably good album.

Here's the Backyard Babies original (I think) [url=http://s20.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=33T77VN4LMLYG1T0NMFN6ENZV9]Star War[/url], and here's [url=http://s20.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0GGM6BZULEAPD2TFO1PETBZUOM]Star War Jr.[/url], Super$hit 666's cover of it. Not sure why, particular reason (neither is the best track on their respective albums). I just like this thread.

I really liked both of those songs, thanks :thumb:.

Girlfriend Clothes is a great song. I underrated it for a very long time, then suddenly realised how good it was sometime in the last year. It's a very fun song.

Bumping this because I just (finally) got my hands on a CD-R of some early Wildhearts stuff. Nine tracks of demos from before Ginger was on vocals ("The Snake Demos") which I've known about for ages but never gotten around to getting myself a copy of, for no good reason. And seven tracks of Ginger with an acoustic guitar, backed by a cheapo drum machine ("The Lost Tapes"), which was news even to me upon buying it a couple of days ago.

Heh. I'll start uploading.

I'm only four tracks in for now, and it's awesome so far. Only one of the tracks is one that later goes on to be recorded properly, I think (Love U Til I Don't), and even the version of that here is rather different from the later one. The rest are all, essentially, new :-D

EDIT: And I think you'll like them, Plath. More glam than anything else they've done, I think. The vocalist helps, he sounds a lot more like an American glam vocalist than Ginger.

I don't think I know anything about him other than the name, unfortunately.

I'm also glad he took over, despite his big lack of confidence in his voice.

EDIT: omg omg omg there's a bit of a later song stuck in the middle of this one. And I totally can't remember what the later song is.

Nah, I don't think so. It's that bit that "da-dun, dadiddle-iddle-iddle dun", or something. You'll know it when you hear it, anyway, and hopefully you'll be able to fill me in.

EDIT (too many edits on this page): Snake is apparently formerly of Tobruk? I've never heard of them, though. RYM lists two Tobruks, one from the 70s and one from the 80s.

Well my audience has gone offline, but here you go;

[url=http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VACJ2W94]The Snake Demos (35 MB)[/url]

Tracklist:
Kiss My Arse Before You Say Goodbye
Love U Til I Don't
Please Baby Please
Please Baby Please (second version)
The Violent Ones
Unsociable Emotions
Vive L'Amour
Who's Gonne Stop Lorraine
Wild Wine and Whiskey

The recording quality's not always the greatest, for obvious reasons, and the other one's on the way, too.

EDIT:

[url=http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1V2WR4E0]The Lost Tapes (27 MB)[/url]

Tracklist:
Kiss My Arse Before You Say Goodbye
Who's Gonna Stop Lorraine
Please Baby Please
The Violent Ones
One More Night
Love U Til I Don't
Wild Wine and Whiskey

Ditto on recording quality (though if you for some reason only download one, make it the Snake demos).

Hope you like them. I've only had them a few hours myself. The Snake Demos are (mostly) great, but the Lost Tapes are really for fans only, if you know what I mean. Being a fan, you're alright of course, but what I mean is when I say he's backed by a cheapo drum machine, I mean a [i]really[/i] cheap drum machine. The kind of thing you had when you were six, built into a keyboard or something :)
