Earlier this year, ever-present Wildhearts frontman Ginger, who co-founded the band back in 1989, finished recording Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts, an eleventh Wildhearts studio album, with bassist Jon Poole, guitarist Ben Marsden and drummer Pontus Snibb. The four-piece subsequently played a post-hiatus performance at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on June 6, there's a short run of European shows scheduled for December, and now UK tour dates have been announced for 2025.
When Classic Rock catches up with them – and Ginger’s friendly collie Maggie - during a break from rehearsals in the Glasgow studio owned by local guys Gun, they’re in very fine fettle.
