The band is streaming its cover of "Understanding Jane" (THE ICICLE WORKS) at this location.
Ginger (vocals/guitar): "This song was the blueprint for 'My Baby Is A Headfuck'. I love Ian McNabb's vocals and lyrics. His solo albums are also amazing (check out his first, self titled solo release). I had imagined we'd do a great version of this song as it has THE WILDHEARTS stamped all over it. Hey, we only copy the best."
Scott Sorry (vocals/bass): "How could you not want to cover this song? I've tried to write this song a thousand times. When a band can write a song with the same chords and structure that you've heard 1000 times before, and STILL make the hairs on your arm stand up.... learn everything you can from them."
"Stop Us..." will mark the first time that each member of the band has taken on lead vocal duties on a WILDHEARTS release.
THE WILDHEARTS will preview a new track on their MySpace site every Monday, starting from April 21.
