Jay McCurdy is back in the studio again, this time, no holding back. 

"With a mix of bootleg remixes, back to his roots dance tracks and some close to the bone truths the skills are still there for all to hear"

Drunken Munks
Jmack and Jiddy may sound like characters from a 70’s Blaxploitation flick especially when you throw DJ Frankie Fearless into the mix, but in fact they’re Jason McCurdy, Paul Joseph and Martin Adshead respectively, a 3 piece Hip Hop act from in and around Greater Manchester.
The Drunken Munks combine a love for a wide range of music genres, and a mutual disinterest for the tedium arising from much of the recent and current hip hop trends (“were not gangsta and don’t intend to be pimps!”); creating an exciting and uncompromising style and approach to the game whilst they continue to embrace the the techniques of past and contemporary greats they are also contributing to the development of the future.
Its been an incredible year for The Drunken Munks so far having supported some huge names in the music industry the biggest being the Sugar Hill Gang, also they were due to support the Furious 5 unfortunately this was cancelled. However they have hyped up crowds in support for K-Lashnekoff, DJ Food, The Dub Pistols and recently the up coming Clement Marfo & the Frontline. For the lads though it was the headline warm up spot for Mix Master Mike on his November date in Manchester that really got the crowds talking.
However the year does not stop there for the lads, they have since been featured on BBC Manchester Introducing as the Artists of the week and their music is now starting filter out to the masses, spreading its infectious party vibe and hard-line no nonsense beats.
The DM’s have been formed for around 6 years now and after early jaunts out supporting the People Under the Stairs and Giant Panda in the mid naughties have since gone back under the radar to develop and busy themselves in the creation and performance aspects of what they do, so that when they do it now, they do it well. Their difference of opinion and also varying musical tastes and influences can be heard throughout their music from the highly popular hard-line “Wack Mc’s” to the smooth and funky “You Gave Me Music” and the depth of “Darkness” featuring the Happy Monday’s Julie Gordon, its clear to see that whilst the lads clearly sing from the same rap sheet they have taken totally different paths to arrive at their chosen musical destination.
So as the DM’s continue to energise the scene with their distinctive aesthetic, infusing break beat, jazz, rock and funk with their hip hop roots we hope that you will enjoy what you hear and support the Drunken Munks with their future exploits.

Tora Harlow has a unique folk sound with a dark, soulful edge. Her style is unique, melodic, and occasionally melancholic, but never without a signature infectious hook.

Her impressive tour schedule over the last year has already seen Tora play at the Stone Roses book launch at Gorilla alongside Manchester Hip Hop band ‘Drunken Munks, as well as the Etihad Stadium alongside rock band ‘The Struts’. Tora Harlow is now busy writing their first album, definitely a band to watch out for.

"Harlow’s serious game changers are her stunning voice, precise phrasing and generous way with a big pop hook." - David Sue, Manchester Evening News.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
