    The Wildhearts To Release Rarities

    Not exactly rarities - they're all B-sides from the singles on the last album. Still, anyone who thought the last album was too 'pop' (and I stick my tongue out in your general direction) will go barmy for this, because the B-sides rocked like... something that rocks a great deal.

    Oh, and it probably won't please people who think that a band is no longer relevant if it has been going longer than 5 years, but Therapy? support on the above tour. It's going to be one of the best nights of my life...

    They should have got the same acclaim Oasis had - only thing is, Oasis shouldn't have. They released one extremely good rock 'n' roll album in 1994 and have bored for Britain ever since.

    The Wildhearts are their own worst enemies though, by their own admissions. But at the moment it's going pretty well... fingers crossed.

    Ah, come on. I love Therapy? and I wish they still played to big crowds, but I've seen both recently and The Wildhearts are pulling a lot more punters in. Go to one of the gigs with an open mind and let us know what you think.

    Well I'm fucking glad I spent all that money buying all the singles when they came out then.....

    How about they stop fucking about and release a live album/videography double DVD?
