The Wildhearts

I've just been told that the new NME has given the album top marks!

Hope I'm not being wound-up - can anyone confirm?

First off: I don't know.

It seems weird, unless Steven Wells is back writing for them, or something. Although I remember that Mark Beaumont and Johnny Cigarettes also used to have good things to say about the Wildies.

I thought I saw somewhere that it was Mark Beaumont who conducted Keef's 'I snorted my dad' interview in the NME. If I'm right, he's still there.

In short; dunno, but it seems fairly unlikely to me that they'd even review it at all.

Hope I'm wrong, though.

Scan plz thx k bye

There's no review in this weeks NME and I did not see one last week either.

False alarm. Should've known that one was too good to be true.

Seems my mate's daft sister was mixing up her Rock Sound with her NME.

It'd surprise me if they did.

The last time I saw a mention of The Wildhearts was when Stormy went top 20 and NME.com said "hoary old rockers The Wildhearts" in a brief mention during a chart roundup item. A couple of weeks later the cover of the NME featured Ian Brown, who is two years older than Ginger. Go figure, as they say. Age is an issue when it suits them.

You got me excited then! I'm expecting nothing from the NME. Has anyone checked Q magazine though? They were very positive about PHUQ and Endless Nameless.

Anymore updates in the Sun Silkenone? Will upcoming singles be reviewed? Also band websites can get rated as well I believe??

Na, they're listed on the NME website as released this week, but don't get any description.

Website might be pushing it! Interview should go in over the next couple of weeks, hopefully that will coincide with some more albums being on the shelves. Single shouldn't be a problem either.

I remember Q gave 'Earth Vs', 'Fishing For Luckies ('96)' and even 'Coupled With' four-star reviews, once upon a moon. I think 'Earth Vs' and 'PHUQ' were both in their 'Top 50 albums of the year' bits way back when. Depends who the individual reviewer is, though - I remember the 'Strike Back' live album getting a condescending Uncut-type 2-star review.
