The Wildhearts

21st Century Love Songs Limited Edition Indies Exclusive Coloured Vinyl

Limited Edition Indies Exclusive 'Purple Rain' coloured vinyl! The Wildhearts are proud to announce the release of 21st Century Love Songs, their brand new full-length studio album on Graphite Records! 21st Century Love Songs is the follow up to Renaissance Men, their highest charting album since 1994’s P.H.U.Q, which debuted at number 11. “Renaissance Men reminded me of our first album, Earth Vs The Wildhearts. No one knew how the fans and press would receive it, so it was balls-to-the-wall rock and fuck 'em if they don't like it. Going in again, for 21st Century Love Songs, naturally reminded me of our second album, PHUQ, where we got to flex our creative muscle, and show everyone what we're capable of. This time we let the songs simmer until absolutely ready. We let the theme of the album present itself. There's a subtlety to this album, something that people don't often associate with The Wildhearts, and a sense of adventure in the unorthodox arrangements of the songs. This is where I become a fan of the band, when we ditch the rule book and just follow our instinct. Sarcastic, fun, angry, proud, experimental and belligerent, all wrapped up in a big 'fuck you', this is the sound of the band in their natural habitat. This time we're in control.” exclaims Ginger Wildheart. With The Wildhearts classic line up of Ginger, CJ, Ritchie and Danny, still holding strong this creatively brilliant band who helped change the landscape of British rock through the 90’s are showing no sign of slowing down. To celebrate the release of 21st Century Love Songs’ The Wildhearts play an 18 date UK tour. The tour will start in Cardiff on Friday 3rd September and concludes in Southampton on Saturday 25th September. Their incendiary live performances over the last few years have seen the band’s popularity hit new heights as The Wildhearts continue to cement their reputation and legacy as one of the best bands the UK has ever produced!
