"It is The Wildhearts (KKKKK) that play the set of the weekend. With a raconteur's charm and a bevy of songs that improve, not wither, with age, Ginger and the band invite the audience to shower them with missiles and in return shower the crowd with music written in the key of life." – Kerrang, 5/5 Download Festival 2008 Review
