A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Steven Reid: Over the years there has been enough scandal, intrigue, splits, reunions, record company wrangles, drug fuelled capers and magazine office trashings by The Wildhearts to just about fill an entire issue of Fireworks. However, more importantly Ginger and the merry revolving door of musicians that have made up the band, have in between all that, somehow managed to knock out some of the smartest, melody infused aggressive rock and roll of the last two decades. Formed in 1990 after Ginger was thrown out of The Quireboys (for being too wild!), it took The Wildhearts two years of line up shuffles and two front men (including the late Snake of Tobruk) before Ginger decided to take lead vocal duties on himself and things got going for real. http://ping.fm/Nk1H2
