Stop Us If You’ve Heard This One Before Vol1

The 15 track album "Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before Vol 1" is a collection of covers from some of The Wildhearts favourite bands, and will mark the first time that each member of the band has taken on lead vocal duties on a Wildhearts release.

Ginger comments "The laws that govern success in the music industry would lead you to believe that the best music is the most popular music, and this is patently untrue.I can't wait until we can bring you volumes 2 through to 5000, to prove beyond any sane doubt that the best music is what resonates with you personally, how ever many copies it has sold worldwide." The album features a diverse range of tracks, from artists including The Distillers, The Icicle Works, Fugazi, Helmet, Soul Asylum & The Decendents. The Wildhearts will be appearing at Download on June 15th with shows also confirmed at the Tattoo Jam on August 2nd in North Wales, The Bulldog Bash on August 9th and Hard Rock Hell II on December6th. The band round of the year performing a special concert to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of the release of 'Earth Vs The Wildhearts'. The show will be at Shepherds Bush Empire, London on Saturday 20th September and will feature 'Earth Vs...' performed live in its entirety, along with all of the b-sides from that era. The Wildhearts also release a DVD filmed by the Cardiacs Tim Smith scheduled for release later in 2008.
