@GingerWildheart @YouTube Love the lyrics on this album - you've got a very rhythmic (almost hip hop) way of writing words

I had a stab at a hip-hop cover of Soundog Babylon. Not as good as the original for sure, but was a fun project

@TheWildhearts @GingerWildheart Have you ever thought of writing/pitching/ working on a Netflix style drama about the Wildhearts' career and lives?

There are lots of great, funny as well as dark moments during your career that would crossover to TV so brilliantly - as well as find the band a new audience.

Absolutely gutted to hear that Scott Sorry has sadly passed away, after fighting back against cancer and being such a positive person through such horrible time it’s awful that he’s been taken from us all.
Scoooooott, you’ll be sorely missed by everyone who’s lives you touched 💔

A UN commission says Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

It says there are reasonable ground that four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been carried out since the start of the war with Hamas in 2023.
