The Wildhearts – So Into You

So Into YouSo Into You – a slab of the catchiest rock you’ll hear this year. Says Ginger: “We made the critics eat their words last time, now let’s truly baffle them and do it again!!! Tell a friend, tell them to tell a friend, and try to beat the success of the last single. We know we can count on you.”

The Wildhearts – Stormy in the North, Karma in the South

Stormy in the NorthThe Wildhearts confirmed their jubilant return to the rock scene with a thunderous number 17 chart placing for ‘Stormy in the North – Karma in the South’. Not content with totally surprising everyone in the music industry and then bewildering the Top of the Pops audience, they also threw in a hatful of new b-sides that rank alongside the best material the band have produced to date.

Ginger – The Singles Club

Lover Not A FighterThe only singles club in the world that guarantees you a shag on the first date. No, really. The plan: to release one three-track CD every month for a year. The industry, naturally, took Ginger out the back and had a quiet word. Ten seconds later, it staggered out, looking confused, and ran off to fetch its comfort blanket. Ginger laughed, lit a cigarette, and released another single.

Silver Ginger 5 – Black Leather Mojo

Black Leather MojoEverything you ever loved about music (but were afraid to mention) on one shiny plastic platter. A widescreen trip through the rocky mountains of tune- infested, heartachingly glamorous rocknrolldom, with a red-headed, leather- kitted, silver-dream-machined metal guru at the controls. “All aboard the super sonic shake!” Hop on, kids. There’s always room for one more.

Super$hit 666 – mini-album

Super$hit666Recorded in 1998, released in 2000, and set to annoy neighbours everywhere ’til well into the 22nd century, this 18-minute rollercoaster ride through hard, fast and very, very LOUD rock ‘n’ roll is the ultimate wake up call. Ginger hooks up with Backyard Babies guitarist Dregen, The Hellacopters’ Nick Royale and producer Tomas Skogsberg to create some of the dirtiest music ever committed to CD.

(Though this has gotta be the loudest acoustic album ever made!) Features a love song to an ex-Spice Girl, a Maori chant sung by a handyman mate of Ginger’s, and a tribute to Alex’s magnificent porn collection.

Stormy in the North, Karma in the South

Stormy in the NorthLeaping out of the blocks, screaming ‘Check It Out’ and then promptly flying up the charts, ‘Stormy…’ emphatically demonstrates that the Wildhearts are BACK! As if we doubted that fact…

The video features young star Danny Tennant, soon to be seen as a regular of “Emmerdale” and who previously starred as the young son in ‘Mike Bassett England Manager’.

Black Leather Mojo… just when you thought it was safe to go back into a venue, a gang of crazee rawk ‘n’ roll muvvafuggas move in for the night and set fire to everything. Once upon a time, all gigs were like this. With SG5, every day is happily ever after.
