Bio:
The Wildhearts are an English rock group, formed in 1989 in Newcastle upon Tyne. The band's sound is a mixture of hard rock and melodic pop music, often described in the music press as combining influences as diverse as The Beatles and 1980s-era Metallica.[1] However, this characterization is denied by the band, who see their influences as being far broader, as shown in the song "29 X The Pain", which lists many of group leader Ginger's influences. Despite several top 20 singles and one top 10 album in Britain, the Wildhearts have not achieved major commercial success, owing in part to difficulties with record companies and many internal problems often relating to recreational drugs and depression. Much of the band's early career was affected by bitter feuds with their record company, East West.In the band's turbulent and unpredictable history, band members have regularly been replaced, with the only constant member being the band's founder Ginger (birth name David Walls) - the singer, guitarist, and predominant songwriter. Several band members have appeared in the line-up more than once. The band has also been split up or placed on hiatus by Ginger multiple times. The most recent recording line-up convened in 2006 but went on hiatus in late 2010. Ginger reformed the band once again for a special one-time appearance in December 2012, which has been extended to touring in 2013 and 2014.
Album:
British rock’s prodigiously gifted godfather Ginger comes back from the brink with The Wildhearts’ 11th album of songs that are like hits from some delicious drug.We all know that certain words in the English language are overused. The likes of ‘genius’ and ‘unique’ – we say them but don’t always mean them. Ginger Wildheart, however, genuinely means every damn word, and just when you think he surely can’t do it again, can’t rival the alchemic interlocking diversity of music from his long past, the bloody guy goes and does just that.This is the sound of an artist that has navigated the matrix of depression, sought help, found help, and been subsequently revisited by his creative fire, a pumped muscle car that even he struggles to control. This 11th album from The Wildherts (he’s already written the 12th!) speaks for itself in great, glorious gobs of creativity, a scarcely imaginable bridge between the Sex Pistols and Machine Head. ‘Life is the page, and you are the pen,’ our man notes on the typically extraordinary Failure Is The Mother Of Success, a song in three parts, all of which are better than the parts some bands will ever write.Oh sure, you’ll listen to the first four tracks and be ensnared by their addictive lure, the storytelling and melodic power encouraging repeat plays, but you’ll be worrying that the one thing missing is a really ‘obvious’ punk-ish anthem. Then a riotous glitter bomb called Kunce happens; then the even better Blue Moon Over Brinkburn, a vengeful V-sign to his old school, happens. That’s how you write a punk metal classic. The combination of that, with the thrash-meets-doo-wop Maintain Radio Silence and I’ll Be Your Monster’s if-The-Beach-Boys-backed-Andrew WK madness; that’s what makes the world lovely.We could point out that Satanic Rites… isn’t quite the greatest Wildhearts album ever, but it’d be like trying to judge which of Serena Williams’ 23 Grand Slam trophies is the most polished. More importantly, this album is the spectacular proof of one man’s return from pitch-darkness to pitch perfection, so let’s be honest enough to say it and mean it: the unique Ginger Wildheart is a total fucking genius.
