July 6, 2009

SPINearth.tv, SPIN magazine's new global music site, has posted video footage of bassist Scott Sorry of long-running U.K. rockers THE WILDHEARTS talking about the band's forthcoming album. Watch the clip below.

THE WILDHEARTS will release their ninth studio album, "Chutzpah!", on August 31 via Backstage Alliance (distributed through Cargo). A full U.K. tour will follow in September and October.

Recorded in Denmark with producer Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, THE BRONX, THE STORM),"Chutzpah!" is described by lead singer Ginger as "unlike any [LP] that we've made so far." Bassist Scott Sorry added, "This album is not only my favorite WILDHEARTS record, but it's one of my favorite records to have ever been a part of."

"Chutzpah!" track listing:

01. The Jackson Whites
02. Plastic Jebus
03. The Only One
04. John Of Violence
05. You Are Proof That Not All Women Are Insane
06. Tim Smith
07. Low Energy Vortex
08. You Took The Sunshine From New York
09. Mazel Tov Cocktail
10. Chutzpah

THE WILDHEARTS have been busy booking a U.K. headline tour which will include an appearance at Sonisphere festival on August 1 as well as a headline show at Shepherd's Bush Empire.

Commented Ginger: "It's always great to play to WILDHEARTS crowds; they really are the best crowd in the world. We are a very lucky band in that respect, and we never take it for granted. This time we'll be promoting the new album which has Scott and CJ singing lead vocals too, so I'll be in heaven being able to take a break from f***ing singing all the time. I can't wait to see people’s reaction to the new material."
