The Wildhearts' seemingly interminable string of four-track EPs continues unabated with this April 1996 release, featuring four entirely new offerings from Ginger's twisted band of merry men.

Both are typical samples of the band's commercially savvy hard rock sound, with a few surprises thrown in out of left field for good measure.
