The Wildhearts + Support

For three decades, The Wildhearts have remained at the forefront of the UK rock scene; through incendiary, festival-topping live shows and fast-lane frolics, they have cemented their reputation as one of the finest, most prolific, most notorious outfit's their homeland has produced - and now they're back with a brand new studio album, their first for Snakefarm!

Titled 'Satanic Rites of The Wildhearts'and produced / mixed by Jim Pinder and Carl Bown (Sleep Token / Bullet For My Valentine / While She Sleeps), the record is conceived - musically, visually and in terms of spirit and intent - as a belated 10-track follow-up to their classic debut, 'Earth vs The Wildhearts'(1993).
