The thing I enjoy the most about The Wildhearts is the thing they do where they’ll be playing a song but then take off in all sorts of directions, riffing all over the place until you wonder if they’ll ever find the song again. Other bands do this but The Wildhearts are just so good at it that I associate it with them. To be honest, I occasionally enjoy these mid-song rifferamas more than the songs that spawned them. But that’s not a problem on 2007’s gleefully aggressive The Wildhearts. My favourite albums of theirs since its release, every song is a gem and practically every song veers off into a roller coaster ride of riffs. Heartily recommended.
I’ve never heard a single track until today.

Check out the song Slaughtered Authors too if you can find it. I think you’d love it.

GOOD RIFFAGE

A band I’ve keep seeing, but don’t know. I do need to remedy that as I hear nothing but good things about them and I love a good riffage as the next guy.

They sometimes get a bit too punky for my liking but a lot of their stuff is really good. They have a knack for riffs and great choruses so it’s hard not to like.

First two albums are essential listening for me: Earth vs The Wildhearts and PHUQ!
