The Wildhearts: “Caffeine Bomb” EP (EastWest)

Now that Motorhead are beginning to show signs of senility, it’s up to Ginger and the boys to assume the mantle of the fastest, loudest, smelliest, meanest sons-of-bitches to have ever walked Planet Earth. With the trillion mile an hour title track and wonderfully dumb ‘Shut Your Fucking Mouth And Use Your Fucking Brain,’ The Wildhearts demonstrate that they have all the necessary credentials for the job and then some. If heavy thrashcore punk metal with an added twist of bubblegum pop is your particular cup of PG Tips, then this could be the record you’ve been waiting for all your life.
