Ginger Wildheart has built an erratic career on brilliantly realised, rousing pop rock and the kind of offstage behaviour that might have given Hunter S Thompson pause for thought. He’s a Wildheart, a solo artist, a former Quireboy, the leader of Silver Ginger 5, SuperShit 666, Hey! Hello!, Clam Abuse, The Sinners and more, an occasional country artist, and even, ever so briefly, a Scorcher, a Bride Of Destruction and a member of Cheap Trick.
