wildhearts

  • main grainsNever paid The Wildhearts much attention so the fact The Main Grains bassist and mainman Danny McCormack played in ‘em didn’t mean much to me. A couple of spins of his new band’s debut EP on CD, however, made me a believer.

    The Main Grains formed in Newcastle-0n-Tyne, Northern England, in 2015 and occupy the same punk rock-pop territory as The Wildhearts. They bring a bunch of songs to this EP that are catchier than a heavy cold in what passes for an English summer. 

    The bio will tell you the band is McCormack and guitarists JJ Watt (Spill 16/Whiskey Haze) and Ben Marsden (Modern Day Dukes), and drummer Ginna Rhodes (Psychobabylon/Phluid), and that they fuse the sounds of the Ramones, The Wildhearts, Yo-Yo's and Blondie. They call it Northern Punk.

    TOP TEN ALBUMS

     Cheap Trick – "In Another World" 
    The masters of hard rock power-pop return with another banger. What year is this? How is it possible these guys are still so good? 

    The Wildhearts – "21st Century Love Songs"
    Ginger     is one of my favorite songwriters and this Wildhearts album is a ferocious reminder that he is still at the peak of his powers.

    The Darkness – "Motorheart"
    My favorite Darkness album since their debut, this one has swagger, hooks, and lots of blistering guitar riffs!
