July 26, 2008

Long-running UK rockers THE WILDHEARTS will be IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson's guests on Friday, August 15 during Bruce's weekly BBC 6 Music radio show, aptly named "The Bruce Dickinson Friday Rock Show". Listen to the program live via the Internet between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. (midnight) U.K. time at BBC.co.uk.

Ginger (guitar, vocals) and C.J. (guitar) of THE WILDHEARTS spoke to Rock Sound TV at this year's Download festival, which was held June 13-15 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, UK. Watch the six-minute chat below.

THE WILDHEARTS will perform a second concert to celebrate the 15-year anniversary of the release of the "Earth Vs The Wildhearts" album. In addition to the previously announced September 20 show at Shepherds Bush Empire in London, the band will play Akasaka Britz in Tokyo Japan on November 23. Both gigs will feature "Earth Vs..." performed live in its entirety along with all of the B-sides from that era.

THE WILDHEARTS released "Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before Vol. 1" digitally on May 19.

The 12-track album is a collection of covers from some of THE WILDHEARTS' favourite bands and will be available exclusively to download worldwide from all major (and not-so-major) digital stores.

"Stop Us..." marks the first time that each member of the band has taken on lead vocal duties on a WILDHEARTS release.
