P.H.U.Q yes! A new official live offering from The Wildhearts! For just over 30
years Ginger Wildheart has been leading his rag-tag rabble of rebel rousing
raconteurs in a disorderly, riotous assault upon the musical world; all
conducted from a secretive base located somewhere in NW3.
Somewhere where 'roaches dance in the hall and paper hangs off the wall; just
off misery street if my hazy recollection serves me correctly.
Just in time to shake the festive decorations, rattle the Christmas tree to
it's roots and roll Santa right over The Wildhearts have landed with '30 Year
Itch: Live'. A 17 track offering, recorded during 2019's The Renaissance Men
and Diagnosis tours, that packs one almighty thump to remind one and all of the
very thing we're currently missing.
Eight of the nine studio albums that define The Wildhearts' incendiary career
are represented within.
From beginning to end this is a high intensity pyroclastic flow of energetic
classics garnered from their highly lauded 1993 debut 'Earth Versus The
Wildhearts' right through to last year's top 20 charting 'Renaissance Men'.
Scorchingly hot The Wildhearts blast their unstoppable course in their very
own indomitable style.
All killer, no filler as the saying goes and not one cover version to boot
either; which is rather appropriate as the singular album that isn't
represented is 2008's 'Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before' - an album of
covers.
This is a live recording showcasing a hard rocking band that, after 30 years,
is kicking as strong as ever.
Wall to wall classic tunes from the anthemic 'Everlone' via the punchy
'Caffeine Bomb' to the ever timeless 'I Wanna Go Where The People Go'. This is
an outfit who have deservedly earned their position nestling amongst the well
loved and respected.
With bassist Danny McCormack rejoining the ranks - alongside Ginger, CJ and
Ritch Battersby - in 2018 the classic Wildhearts' quartet of the mid 90s was
finally reunited.
Ginger muses on the urge to capture the magic 'There are a few authorised
bootleg live albums of The Wildhearts doing the rounds, but as soon as Danny
rejoined the band I knew I had to capture the classic Wildhearts lineup on
record.
There were a few reasons for this, the main one being that we're still alive,
which is a situation that could change at any second with this group.'
To ensure this happened the services of sound maestro Dave Draper were enlisted.
Having first worked with The Wildhearts on 2015's 'Never OutDrunk, Never
Outsung PHUQ Live' sound maestro Draper reflects 'Ginger gave me two
instructions: 'Loud guitars and loud crowd' - I didn't have a choice in either
as that's what was captured during the recording. Thank you for making my job a
lot easier guys!'
Job successfully done on both accounts in my humble opinion. Such is the
strength of the newer material that tracks from 'Renaissance Men' like raucous
show opener 'Dislocated' and harding rocking 'Diagnosis' dovetail perfectly
with the likes of established favourites like readymade for moshing buzzsawing
'Suckerpunch' and the tubthumping 'Love U Till I Don't'.
Ginger snarls 'Take me as I am or not at all'; we certainly have. Pounding
rhythms, crashing guitars, snappy lyrics and anthemic choruses this is The
Wildhearts.
Ginger concludes 'As far as I'm concerned this is a classic album by a unique
band playing timeless songs that don't fit into any established genre. Is it
rock? Is it punk? Who cares, it's the Wildhearts!' You won't find me, for one,
disagreeing with that.
A thousand fake heroes appear at the throne whilst the 'roaches still dance in
the hall; but a quartet of rocking heroes have snuck off with the crown anyway!
