The Ginger/CJ/McCormack/Bam line-up released two EPs in 1992, Mondo Akimbo a-Go-Go and Don’t Be Happy… Just Worry , after which drummer Bam returned to Dogs D’Amour and was replaced by Stidi (Andrew Stidolph). To follow up their first two EPs, the Wildhearts recorded demos for their first full-length album, which were released as Earth vs the Wildhearts without re-recording. The singles ” Greetings From Shitsville ” and ” TV Tan ” were underground hits in 1993. Stidi left the band shortly afterwards to be replaced by Ritch Battersby, just in time for the recording of the single ” Caffeine Bomb “, a UK chart hit at the beginning of 1994, helped by a memorable video in which Ginger appeared to vomit into CJ’s face. The band appeared on Top of the Pops with Ginger wearing green welding goggles.
