Released via Backstage Alliance and exclusively on iTunes, it serves as one of the album’s most rabble-rousing, but also most poppy, moments. Taken from an album that the band describes as 'unlike any we’ve made before', lead singer Ginger said:

"I'm really excited about this song. It was written, and is sung by Scott who does an amazing job. I love the fact that the band is getting so confident in handling lead vocal roles, this is something that will make future recordings so much more interesting. This is one of my favourite songs on the new album. I never get tired of listening to it. And the lyrics are classic."]]> 1249033362 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 05:42:42 -0400 http://www.thewildhearts.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1247677515&archive= Ginger will be trying to stream tonight's rehearsal live from LA at midnight UK time, 4pm (PST), 7pm (EST) and 8am Japan

DOLLAR$ FOR DEADBEAT$ - a benefit gig for Roger 'Rags' Segal of Sorry & The Sinatras. Roger got stuck in the UK when the Sorry & the Sinatras tour got cancelled and he is currently broke and homeless in London until he can get his flight back which was scheduled for the end of the tour. So we've gotten together a group of Roger's friends to play a one-off gig doing Sorry & The Sinatras songs and punk & rock'n'roll classics to help raise money for Roger's living expenses while he is in London.

Appearing on the night alongside Roger will be Ginger (The Wildhearts), Acey Slade (Murderdolls/Amen/Trashlight Vision), Dave Kerr (Sorry & The Sinatras, The Cherrykicks), Tom Spencer(The Yo-Yo's, The Loyalties), Rich Jones (The Black Halos, Amen, The Loyalties), Eureka Machines (also playing a short set), Pat Lynch (Junkstar), Rich Rags (Madison Strays, Role Models) and some surprise guests. There will be drink specials and a late bar and this is a bank holiday Sunday so no work the next day!
