The Wildhearts

Greetings! Just a brief intro. My name is simon, im 32 and i've been listening to the Wildhearts since i first heard Turning American on Krushers GLR Radio show back in '92 , if memory serves. Other faves? Strapping Young Lad and anything hevydevy related, PWEI, BLS, and all things frikkin loud!!!!

Being 32 doesn't make you "old" in Wildhearts circles, when you consider how long they've been going! I'm 35 and far from being the youngest. Equally though, there are loads of new young fans cropping up which is ace - what often causes problems for bands of "a certain age" is when they keep playing only to diminishing numbers of "the usual suspects". That isn't happening with The Wildhearts which is ace. The fact that their gigs are still far more energetic than those of bands half their age helps!

"OLD"????? jeez I'm 46 and still spend as much time as I can being crushed onto the barrier down the front. Welcome.

Well if it is a competition... I am 52 but I will be there on Saturday shouting along (I would say singing but that doesn't really do justice to the strangled yowl that comes out of my mouth - thank God for applification - no one can hear me).

I don't think age matters, if you like the Wildhearts you are welcome

Shouldn't that be 'oldest'?
Anyway, thanks to you I'm feeling young again at 31!

Seriously though, it doesn't matter where you come from, it doesn't matter how old you are, it matters where your head is at... (slightly altered quote from Kiss Alive! if memory serves)

Fuck if we all did that I'd not be allowed in the venue I was 13 when it came out.
