Biography
For nearly thirty years, The Wildhearts have been a behemoth of the British rock and alternative scene. Releasing classic albums such as their esteemed début, Earth Vs (voted number one album of the year in Kerrang! Back in 1993, and number 20 in the best rock albums of all time in a Kerrang! Special in 2006), through to 2007’s self titled record (10/10 Rocksound, 5/5 The Sun) their musical output and legendary live shows have been second to none.
Although the 90’s saw the band covered like a living soap opera in the press with tales of sex, drugs, bust ups, fights (both with labels and themselves), splits, more drugs and a lot more controversy (one such incident including entering and then proceeding to trash the Kerrang! Offices!), the recent years have seen the band more focused than ever before and firing on all cylinders.
2016 saw The Wildhearts, release their latest masterpiece Never Outdrunk, Never Outsung – PHUQ Live on Round Records.
The live album was recorded when the band reunited in September 2015 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their most commercially successful album PHUQ and Never Outdrunk, Never Outsung contains the full original album track listing.
“P.H.U.Q.” (pronounced in obvious fashion!) originally released in May 1995, crashed into the UK Top Ten Album Chart at number 6. It spawned two Top 40 hit singles, “I Wanna Go Where The People Go” and “Just In Lust”, which reached numbers 16 and 28 respectively.
As well as brilliant new music the bands incendiary live performances over the last few years have seen the band’s popularity hit new heights as The Wildhearts continue to cement their reputation and legacy as one of the best bands the UK have ever produced.
With the doubters once again proved wrong, The Wildhearts are not only set to record new music but are hitting the road in 2018 as part of a legendary Britrock package with both Terrorvision and Reef.
