Changes to in-store sessions
By Andy B | March 12, 2025
Due to logistical problems that would have had a probable knock on effects on the remaining tour dates, we have reluctantly made the decision to cancel today’s instore at Newcastle HMV.
We apologise but this is a case of things genuinely being out of our control.
We will be sending a special gift to anyone who was planning to attend by way of an apology and have asked HMV to supply a list of attendees so we can ensure this happens, there will also be an option for you to receive a signed copy of the album, details to follow.
Please accept our sincere apologies, but we have to protect the well being of the band and ensure the remaining dates go ahead as planned.
However, it’s always great that when something goes wrong, in this case, having to cancel the Newcastle instore, someone steps forward to help out.
It gives us great pleasure to announce that the final instore for the tour will take place at:
Love Music
34 Dundas Street
Glasgow
G1 2AQ
At midday tomorrow – 13th March 2025
The whole band will be there to meet, greet and sign copies of the new album.
What makes this even better is that we get to support a great independent store.
Come and see us if you can.

Playing the test pressings
By Andy B | February 21, 2025
The reason we have test vinyl pressings of new albums is so we can check that they sound as awesome as they should do, so that when they are delivered to your good selves, we know you’ll be hearing them as they truly should be heard. So a very important step that needs to be taken, is to actually listen to them!
Here, Ginger has a listen to a test pressing of the new Wildhearts album, Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts. Have a watch of what he thinks of it!
