:"For the Nirvana song, see Endless, Nameless"

"Endless Nameless" was an album by The Wildhearts, released on Mushroom Records.

"Heroin" is a cover of "Heroine" by The Dogs D'Amour.

The Japanese version of the album featured a cover of the Elvis Costello song "Pump It Up". This was initially issued as an anonymous promo to DJ's prior to the release of the album. DJ's were invited to guess who the band was on the return form. Around half guessed right, although one unnamed DJ ended up bizarrely thinking it was the work of former Beatle Paul McCartney.

The "sonic booms" heard in various tracks on the album were reused by former band member Devin Townsend multiple times on his album "Infinity", such as the track "War" ending with the boom that ends "Endless Nameless".

Other promotional CDs for the release of "Endless Nameless" caused controversy by depicting animals being hung as well as shot.Some sources say the album was named after Nirvana's 1991 song "Endless, Nameless", the hidden track at the end of their "Nevermind" album, though Ginger claims to have been unaware of the song's existence at the time [cite web |url= http://www.thewildhearts.com/askginger/askginger33.shtml|title= Ask Ginger May 2002 |accessdate=2007-04-23] .
