The Wildhearts

At last this pap magazine have done the career overview for WH. Non-too-shockingly they say Earth vs... is the best album while Endless Nameless isnt.

Anyone else buy Kerrang this week only for this feaute only? lol.

NO, but i think ill get a copy on the way to work.

My only contact with Kerrang these days is when my girlfriend's kid buys it and I flick through his copy to see if there's anything worth reading. There very rarely is. This one will be worth a look though I suppose.

I gave up my subscription to Kerrang last year in favour of a subscription to Classic Rock. Much Better and a free Pink Floyd DVD.

I may actually buy this issue though.

Its abit of a good read with a good pic of the band circa 1993. Andy Cairns from Therapy? (another killer band) talks about why The Wildhearts are great.

I havent bought Kerrap since early 2005. The magazine is aimed too much at kids with too much pocket money wanting to look cool or rebel. The magazine now out-sells NME (again i dont buy it) buy a huge margin.

i usually stand in asda and read it while the mrs does the shopping and i did notice in last weeks edition they were featured in this weeks but i thought it would b a shitty poster but thats cool, wonder if it will tempt some young whipper snappers out there to purchase one of the said albums?.......................... prob not

He seems to be at a loose end this week - he's doing the 'Songs that changed my life' thing in the back too.

And plug's an upcoming Clutch tour too!

Nice one Ean. Makes it a bit easier for those of us who cant readily stroll down to WH Smith

I dont think Fishing.... should be seen as a wild card album
and a widlheart mix should include
Just Stay
Girlfriend Clothes
Caprice
Woah Shit, You Got Through
Loveshit
News of the World

Well at least mine would

It's not, but I'd imagine the page layout comes with five captioned boxes to fill at the top and something's got to go there. Personally, I'd have switched FFL and DBH... JW.

Just Stay? - Bit unfair, you can't exactly wander into your local LP emporium and get it off the shelf.

I tried to do a mix CD for my sister's boyfriend (another convert now), and couldn't get it down past 2 CD's of album tracks and 1 with B-sides on it. (Oh, and a whole 'nother CD of the SG5 album and some Singles Club stuff. Well, 'cos you should, y'know )

I think kerrap went for songs that the kiddies could get to easily buy downloading or buying the albums.

When I made a mix CD for my best mate (who likes Fall Out Boy but is nearly turning to the Wildside) I had 29x The Pain, Drinking About Life, etc and some of Gingers Valor Del Corazon stuff on it.

i can't see any mention of the tour or the new album

They're mentioned in the forthcoming albums section and in the tours bit at the back, but it does seem an odd oversight - might just have been an omission by whoever did the layout.

I don't read Kerrang! on a regular basis though, do they normally put 'coming attractions' on the retrospective pages?

I know but it's one of my favourits...can't get enough of it
