The Wildhearts are a rock group originally formed in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. 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. However, this characterization is refuted 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 England, 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 impacted 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 (real 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, with the current line-up convening in 2006.

Hey lads!
Was due to holiday with my best bud (& equally massive Wildhearts fan) in Prague & Bratislava last week until we heard yiz were playing Berlin.
My mate lives there so we canceled Bratislava & came back to Berlin early from Prague only to discover on a big fat 'Canceled' sign, auf Deutsch obviously, when we got to the venue door!
Can't tell you how pissed off we were.... but not with you lot!
Play Ireland again - it's been too long & I look forward to the album.
