Stuck On Repeat: The Wildhearts Are Still A Bleeping Good Band

Our long-standing love of British metal-pop band the Wildhearts has been well-documented, and so we're especially excited for next week's release of The Wildhearts, even though it's a U.K.-only release (alas). "The Sweetest Song," below, is the first single, and despite being a "radio mix," it has zero chance of ever making it on the air over here, as it's full of barely bleeped obscenities; just make sure you make it through the thrashing intro long enough to hit the towering "na na na na" chorus:

After reading that British-rock sorta-legends the Wildhearts were returning to the U.S. this year, we immediately dug out the group's 2003 release The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed, as fine a piece of pop-metal as you're going to find these days. The band's status has been pretty off-and-on-again lately, so let's hope they keep it together long enough to make it to South By Southwest.
