Wildhearts

The Wildhearts are the kind of band that the British rock press dreams about: creatively brilliant, completely out of control, and utterly doomed from day one.

Led by charismatic Ginger, the group's turbulent career has lived up to the highest (or lowest, as it were) expectations.

After numerous frightening twists and turns, the band derailed in spectacular fashion but not before yielding a wealth of inspired hard rock and literally miles of even more entertaining magazine copy, only to rise again and again through dozens of lineup changes, with Ginger the sole constant.
