December 2017 Discoveries.

Many people simply want to hear and enjoy some great new music without having to waste time searching for hours. These Musical Discoveries collections aim to fulfill those needs. At least, we hope so!

This playlist is a compilation of the favourite musical discoveries of the Wud Records team from everything they heard at SoundCloud during December 2017.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the time of publishing, starting with the fewest. Tracks that are early in playlists tend to receive more plays than later tracks, and we feel that the ones with fewer plays need the best chance of exposure.

This playlist is extremely eclectic, so if the track you are playing isn't quite doing it for you, try the next one. It will probably be completely different.

If you enjoyed listening to something here, please give it a like and a repost. Follow the artist. Give them a shoutout on social media. Check out some of their other tracks. Buy from something from them and your support will help them to keep going. Doing any this will help raise their profile and you might make their day. :)

If you are on this playlist, please share, give us a shoutout on your social media feeds, listen to some more tracks by the other great bands, and... enjoy!

LIINES (Single) Disappear | Be Here. A release from post-punk trio LIINES through Reckless Yes Records, available digitally and on limited coloured 7” vinyl: http://weareliines.com/music

● Featured on John Kennedy’s Radio X X-Posure
● “Driving bassline and crisp vocals invoking comparisons to the likes of Savages, LIINES are certainly ones to watch.” Louder Than War
●“Both songs have an inescapable urge with rolling bass runs directly locking in with the vocal melody…Be Here can boast a bona fide sing-along chorus.” The Quietus
● “A perfect slice of post-punk pop that is...just wonderful.” God is in the TV 
● “‘Disappear’ is a fraught slice of punk rock with echoes of Sleater-Kinney, Elastica and Fugazi in the mix. It’s urgent and vital stuff.” The National Student

Produced by Paul Tipler (Idlewild, Stereolab, Placebo, Elastica) Disappear and Be Here are LIINES at their very best. The release is a follow up to their hotly received debut, Never There and follow up Blackout.

Co-founder of Reckless Yes Records Pete Darrington said: “LIINES are astonishingly brilliant. Angular and tense, sparse one moment and then a wall of glass shattering noise the next. I’m convinced they are the illegitimate offspring of Fugazi and Sleater-Kinney.”

Miraculous Mule - Ain't It Hard

MIRACULOUS MULE 
SOUND OF THE SUMMER
b/w AIN'T IT HARD & IN MY TIME OF DYING 
Release date 16th June 2017 Digital download (Bronzerat/Muletone Records)

"A blues drenched epic rock riot" 4/5 The Daily Mirror
"Don't miss this galvanising soundtrack for treacherous times" 9/10 Vive Le Rock
"A topical soul filled road to salvation, top layered with bite and fury" 9/10 Louder Than War 
"Passionate, paranoid heavy rock built for these times" The Arts Desk

Following the release of their second album Two Tonne Testimony in March, London three piece Miraculous Mule release Sound of the Summer, a psychedelic-soul inflected stomper which takes a well worn music industry cliche and turns it on it's head. Taking its cues from Hendrix and the Isley Brothers 'Sound of the Summer' begins as a paean to long joyous sunny days and hot sticky nights before morphing into something a little darker, i.e. burning, looting, the death of protest and the rise of the police state.

It's backed with Ain't It Hard - a slow, funky blues howled from the cold bed of a passionless relationship - and In My Time of Dying - a reworking of the old gospel/blues standard which the band recorded for MOJO magazine's tribute to Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti. .

Miraculous Mule - Ain't It Hard

Manchester’s The Travelling Band have announced their forthcoming album, SAILS, due 25th August 2017 via Sideways Saloon Records/Kartel. The first taste of SAILS comes in the shape of the single, ‘Into The Water’, which serves as an introduction to a new, more expansive approach from the Manchester five-piece.

‘Into the Water’ is an autobiographical transatlantic love song, as Jo explains: “I wrote it at a time when I was in a long distance, open relationship with a lover who was living in New York while I was in England. It’s a desperate love letter. I was willing to do anything to make it work.”

THE IMMEDIATE
‘Not Shabby’ - free download single
released Thursday, 11th. May 2017

—

“… a great tune, great playing, wild spiky guitar, odd lyrics, a light sprinkling of anarchic menace and the perfect pop radio length.” Tom Robinson, BBC6Music
—

Adam Walton (guitar & vocals) / Richard Harrison (bass & vocals) / Duncan Farmer (drums & vocals)

We are The Immediate, a three-piece band from Mold in north Wales. We reconvened after a long hiatus last year, and have subsequently released two EP’s featuring songs that received airplay and support from Tom Robinson on BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing, and from a host of excellent independent radio shows and blogs (Sweeping The Nation, The Breakdown, Music Is My Radar).

We release our new single, ‘Not Shabby’, on Thursday 11th May 2017 as a free download from our bandcamp page: http://theimmediate.bandcamp.com  

‘Not Shabby’ is the lead track from our debut album Manbuoy (released on 16th June 2017). The single also features a b-side exclusive to this release: ‘Suffer In Silence’.

‘Not Shabby’ is an uplifting burst of guitar pop, catalysed by experience of coming out the other side of a depressive illness. Musically, our reference points were the opening tracks on The Beatles’ untouchable mid-60’s albums - Rubber Soul and Revolver - with the proviso that we were determined ‘Not Shabby’ would not sound like a song inspired by The Beatles. No Mellotrons were harmed during the recording of this single.

However another trope of The Beatles’ mid-60’s recordings - the backwards guitar - is very much apparent on the b-side, ‘Suffer In Silence’. The original technique for recording backwards guitars was to flip the tape over on the studio’s tape machine, and to have the guitarist record a part playing along to a backwards version of the backing track. When the tape is then flipped back over, the recorded guitars are reversed and take on an otherworldly sound, like violas strung with LSD. 

There were no tape machines in the studio we used to record these songs, so we had to improvise with digital technology. Hopefully to interesting effect.

‘Not Shabby’ c/w ‘Suffer In Silence’ were recorded at Orange Sound Studios in Penmaenmawr, North Wales by Russ Hayes, who has worked on recordings by Peaness, Campfire Social, Kidsmoke, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Billy Bibby and the Wry Smiles.

The single sleeve was designed by Paul Maurice (ex-Gallops) from Wrexham. It’s a detail of the iconic lighthouse at Talacre beach, on the northeast Wales coast.

The Immediate - Not Shabby [release date: 11/5/17]

Morning, it's only me.  Can I wake you? 
'Cos I couldn't sleep. I know usually 
I'm dead to the world, this feeling's burning, 
It wants to come alive.

So we take off and shake off the blues
And it's these times that you realise were fools
You get on it from start to the end 
Let's not pretend that you're gunna come out alright.

I can't help the way I feel
I just need this in my life again
(and again, and again, and again) x2

Sunshine, that's what we hoped 
But in Hamburg, it was worse than home 
Yeah, but fuck it, it cost forty quid and
I won't lose a wink we'll be in the pit tonight.

You want nine lives, 'cos that's what you need 
Or a coffee to counter the sleep that your lacking, 
For better a word, I'm feeling worse 
Than a train wreck home tonight. 

I can't help the way I feel
I just need this in my life again
(and again, and again, and again) x2

Well I'm losing touch trying to keep things up with the team. 
Well I'm losing touch and it's spiralling, spiralling, spiralling down. 
It gets to the point where I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

I can't help the way I feel
I just need this in my life again
(and again, and again, and again) x2

We don't wanna write a love song about it. 
We don't wanna write a love song about you, about you. x2

We don't wanna write a love song. x3

The Immediate are a three-piece indie, power pop band from Mold in north Wales.

We release our Mold EP on Friday 3rd March 2017. The EP will be available to buy on limited edition CD and digitally via bandcamp / iTunes etc.

Mold features 4 brand new recordings, 3 of which are exclusive to the EP.

Lead track, What’s The Matter Kevin Jones?, is a song about some of the kids we went to the Alun School with, who weren’t as fortunate as us and didn’t make it into their 30’s. 

Light Dimensions is the first song we wrote when we reconvened after a long hiatus.

Manbuoy is the title track of our forthcoming debut album, however it does not feature on the album itself. It’s a mostly spoken-word piece that exaggerates all of its writer’s worst qualities.

Mold was recorded at Orange Sound Studios in Penmaenmawr, North Wales by Russ Hayes, who has worked on recordings by Peaness, Campfire Social, Kidsmoke, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Billy Bibby and the Wry Smiles.

The sleeve design was done by Paul Maurice from Wrexham. It’s a detail of Shire Hall, the brutalist former seat of Flintshire County Council that sits on a hill, above Mold town centre.

The Mold EP will be launched at a hometown gig at Theatr Clwyd, Mold on Friday, 3rd. March. We’ll be joined by our friends Campfire Social and Skellums. Tickets are £7 and available here:

There is a YouTube video telling the story of the band so far, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtERsE3ihDg

We originally split in 1997 due to frustration, an argument over a mouth organ and the success of Stereophonics.

We released one single (unaccountably popular in Sweden), made every conceivable mistake in the How To Be A Successful Indie Band handbook, toured with some excellent bands (Mansun, 60ft Dolls, Dodgy) and flickered out, leaving behind the memory of some great gigs, a few fine songs, and little else.

In March 2016, we reconvened to repair friendships and renew tinnitus. New songs came much more easily than the old ones, probably because we are playing to please only ourselves - with no thoughts of success or acclaim - for the first time in our existence.

There is more truth and resonance in our songs now than ever before. And power. And invention. We write songs about hope and love in the face of the moribund, daily grind. 

You will possibly hear fragments and echoes of the following artists in our sound (The Jam, Wire, XTC, Pixies, Badfinger, REM, Dr Feelgood, Small Faces, Husker Du, The Who, Ride, Big Star, The Cure, Joy Formidable, The Go-Betweens, Teenage Fanclub), but nothing has been plagiarised or misappropriated to mask a deficiency of our own ideas.
