If you’ve been getting withdrawal symptoms from a lack of new weekly releases, then fret no more as the webstore now has on sale a brand-spanking new DVD, It Stinks Of Eyes Around Here.

Filmed during last year's Ginger Wildheart & Friends acoustic tour, this DVD is an entertaining bootleg-style documentary look at the on and off stage goings on of the summer shows around the UK. It is packed with interviews, behind-the-scenes tom foolery, songs, characters and highlights from the van journeys with the band featuring Ginger Wildheart, 'Random' Jon Poole (The Wildhearts/Cardiacs), Jase Edwards (Wolfsbane), Chris Catalyst (Eureka Machines/The Sisters Of Mercy), Willie Dowling & John Steel (Jackdaw4) and Dunc (tour guitar tech).

Included on the DVD are 8 live acoustic performance videos shot at various venues across the tour, and over 30 minutes of bonus behind-the-scenes clips – almost 2 hours of audio-visual entertainment!
