Formed in Newcastle in 1989, The Wildhearts found fame with debut album Earth vs. The Wildhearts, containing top 40 singles Caffeine Bomb and Suckerpunch.
Since then there have been various changes in personnel, internal problems, arguments with record companies, break-ups, reunions and 11 studio albums, most recently this year’s The Satanic Rites of The Wildhearts.
Former Quireboy Ginger (he was fired from the band) is the one constant in the band and he was given a hero’s welcome at Glasgow’s Garage venue this week, supported by Dirt Box Disco and Jim Jones All Stars.
