Kerrang! 5K Live Review from Download Festival!

From Kerrang! magazine (18/06.2008)

Download Festival 2008 Review

"It is The Wildhearts (KKKKK) that play the set of the weekend. With a raconteur's charm and a bevy of songs that improve, not wither, with age, Ginger and the band invite the audience to shower them with missiles and in return shower the crowd with music written in the key of life."

Download Festival - A message from Ginger

.....to everyone who came to Download festival and made our appearance the most memorable of our lives.

You guys and gals made me so proud.

I had hoped you'd rise to the occasion on the day but you far exceeded my expectations in every possible way.

Best crowd of the weekend? No doubt about it whatsoever.

Even Kiss would kill for our audience.

We love you all.

Preview Song 4 now up - Ice Hockey Hair!

Preview Track 4 Track: Ice Hockey Hair
Originally by: Super furry Animals
Lead Vocal by Ritch Battersby

Some words from the band

Ritch
Had I known I was going to be asked to sing songs I'd suggested, I'd probably have chosen a couple of classics from Chad Valley Hits - My 1st karaoke Machine - Vol One. As it happens, I'm glad I didn't. I love this song nearly as much as I love the drum fill into the outro.

Ginger
This song gets the hairs standing up on every inch of my body. And to think that they kept this track for an E.P. SFA are one of our greatest treasures and this, for me, is their finest hour. Ritch handles the vocals impeccably. Man, how talented are The Wildhearts? What am I doing singing every song? No more, I tells ya. With voices like this they can all lend a hand singing on albums to come. If you don't already have every album by SFA then I suggest beginning with Radiator and working your way through the lot of em. They just have so many great songs and create amazing soundscapes to go along with the cool tunes.
I think Run Christian Run is my joint favourite with this one.

CJ
Really cool song and great to hear Ritch sing...he can even do that vocoder shit with his voice amazing...Think this could be my favourite...chilled

Scott
I had never heard this song until it was talked about as being a cover. It's great, it's melodic, and it's catchy as fuck. I love the chorus. Every time I hear it I can't get the chorus out of my head. It also doesn't sound like something people would expect us to do. Perfect.
