 UK rockers The Wildhearts are set to release Stop Us If You've Heard
This One Before Vol 1 digitally on May 19th. The 12-track album is a
collection of covers from some of The Wildhearts favourite bands and
will be available exclusively to download worldwide from all major (and
not so major) digital stores.
The band check in with the following:
Preview track three - 'Carmelita'. Originally by Warren Zevon. Lead Vocal by Scott Sorry.
Some words from Scott, Ritch & Ginger about the song.
Scott Says: "This song is one of my favourite songs of all time.
It brings back so many memories. For the most part it reminds me of
being up for days, high as a kite with Ginger in the middle of a canyon
in Malibu. We were a fucking absolute mess. This song captures that
6-month period perfectly. Not to mention we listened to it every day.
Kind of a theme song for the fucked up hermits that we were and it only
made sense to cover it."
Ritch Says: "Ralph from Grand Theft Audio first played me Warren
Zevon. 'Werewolves Of London' became a daily ritual on the GTA tour
bus. I hadn't heard 'Carmelita' until Scott suggested it and I'm glad
he did. What a phenomenal vocal from the young lad."
Ginger says: "Our version is a lot more punked up that Warren's.
Check out the original for some of the darkest country you will ever
hear. Absolutely authentic and incredible."
Check out 'Carmelita', streaming now at The Wildhearts' MySpace page.
