TIME TRAVEL

July 2021 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 fulfil 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 July 2021.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the precise moment 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 something from them and your support will help them to keep going. Doing any of this will help raise their profile. At the very least you might make their day. :)

If you happen to be on this playlist, please share, and give us a shoutout on your social media feeds - because if we spot it, it gives us another opportunity to repost you and big you up. Please listen to as many tracks by the other great bands as you can, and... enjoy!

Lyrics:

Just place a roof above me, start the rain
Before it’s all gone, before its all gone
Just place a roof above me, start the rain
Before it’s all gone, before its all gone

To think I would kneel down at your feet
Before it’s all gone, before its all gone
I ask myself why I kneel down at your feet
Before it’s all gone, before its all gone

All Gone

I'm stranded here again, another Friday night
Turn up the music, black out the lights
Best kinda scene, I shouldn't have been
Bandits in charge of the silver machine and
One of our friends is along for the ride
Hangin' from the window, out of his mind
I don't want my luck to fall at my feet
Don't wanna feel a thing, just wanna hear you scream, yeah
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
We were breakin' the limit, then we broke down
Turned to the left to some no-name town
Everybody's got a dream, I like it best when I'm in it
Comin' 'round the corner, I'll be there in a minute
And I'm comin' up on somethin' sweet
I'm leavin' with the first person I meet
I'm holdin' out, I'm hangin' on
For that moment where it all goes wrong, yeah
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
And we can do anything we want for a while
They say
And tell you to behave with a smile
Don't turn
Don't turn and run away
Don't hide
'Cause we can do anything we want for a while
I think we're gonna be okay
Yeah, I think we're gonna be okay
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
These days
I think we're gonna be okay

Lyrics:

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you tell a storm is coming
Forming distantly
Like memories that ceased to be

Softly, like wind carries heat in air
Our instincts guide us to the fire
The smoke will lead me there

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you hear the embers cracking
Dancing in release
My intuition calls on me

Audrey, listen close again to me
I will gladly go where you guide me
Wherever that may be
Like wind carries salt to sea
And this is the start

Illusory, alluring me
Harrowing, the path can be
But if you see the future in me
Like I see in my visions of you

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you tell a storm is coming
Forming distantly
I’ll go wherever you guide me

this track is the equivalent of a messy workspace.  stuff piled upon stuff, only small bits and pieces are important to me.  i had planned for a week or two to spend some time cleaning it up and reorganizing, but i can't seem to commit to anything anymore.

Angel Of Secrets

'Broken Down Radio'

I reached out for a timeless branch of hope
A call out from the rooftops
A story from a broken down radio
Pack your bags and shelve your fears

Now you’ve gone and missed your ‘blue sky boat’
For a generation…
Dangled by the rise of tomorrows sun
Smell your blood and chase your fears

I won’t march alone
I’ll sing until my throat runs dry
Building bridges over forgotten tales
On a broken down radio 

Standing there with your eluded smile
Are you ready to jump?
Turn the volume up and change your gear
Are you ready to run?

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run…

Caught inside a storm of bedtime stories
Luckily kings will crumble
Tired of all the mid ships gathered round
Spread your seeds and take your clear

I won’t march alone
I’ll sing until my throat runs dry
Building bridges over forgotten tales
On a broken down radio

The opening track on our debut EP 'extended play one'. 
A call out for simpler times. 

Recorded in the Gorstey Shack and moulded into shape by Gavin Monaghan at his Magic Garden Studios in Wolverhampton in the winter of 2020. 
Russ and Michael played and sang most of the stuff.
Gavin added bass and 'monotronics'
Craig Glover provided drums.
Mark Gardener mastered the track at his Ox4 Sound in Oxford...

And here it is for you here in it's full glory. Enjoy.

Stay safe, be well
Over and out… for now…

The Flat White Kid.

For Eternity

'A tonic for the times' Chris Hawkins BBC 6 Music 

So here's a story that you may need to grab a cup of tea and the biscuit barrel for, are you sitting comfortably? Then, let us begin...

Gorstey Lea AKA 'The Gorstey Lea Street Choir' formed one cold winters night in 2016. Two friends on a life long journey. 

Michael first met Russ in 1985, Michael was 15, Russ was 19. Russ played in 'the' up and coming local band ‘Soul Exit’. Michael admired his musical craft and ended up following the band around the country. A gig in Manchester was planned. Michael needed to go and went to Russ’s house (on Gorstey Lea) with a gift, a tape in hand. On one side The Pale Fountains ‘… From Across the Kitchen Table’ on the other Dexys Midnight Runners ‘Don’t Stand Me Down’. Russ welcomed Michael in and he attended the gig travelling in the bands van. 

The future was cast... the following year Michael formed his first band ‘The Great Divide’ inspired by what he had seen and the world of endless possibilities and free expression.

Fast forward some 31 years to August 2016 and a big birthday bash for Russ. Michael attends Russ's party. Talk turns to days gone by and Russ pops the question... “It’s about time we got together and did some music Michael, what do you reckon? No pressure. I have converted my garage into a recording studio, you should come round and we’ll have a play”. 

Michael was not sure, for 15 plus years he has not played an instrument, not sung a song, not written down his thoughts. The conversation was left. A mutual friend then messages Michael 4 months later to tell him that Russ is doing a gig and he thinks it would be good if they did a couple of their favourite cover versions together. 

Messages are exchanged and the meeting is arranged at Russ's new house in Gorstey Lea, 4 houses up the road and 31 years since that first knock on the door. Without any rehearsal the two friends agree to play together for the first time on that Friday evening… 

The reaction from the crowd and the landlord is overwhelming 2 songs turn to 2 hours and at the end of the evening the landlord books the duo to play the following month. ‘What’s your band name boys? ‘The Gorstey Lea Street Choir’ is quickly retorted an amalgam of that first meeting point and Van Morrison’s LP ‘His Band And The Street Choir’ … a door is unlocked, a journey is born.

So, to the ‘here and now’. The duo release their first track in October 2019 'The British Isles' which picks up national radio play from 6 Music, BBC Introducing and great digital stations such as Brum Radio, with the wind in their sails a double A side limited vinyl 'Lions' and 'Somedays' follows in January 2020 and in December 2020 their debut EP snazzily titled 'extended play one' hits the digital shops... 

Summer 2021 - the boys release an 8 track mini LP ''...from Prince's Park to Farsley (Volume I)' a tale of new found collaborations and two towns... aided and abetted by Gavin Monaghan, George Shilling, Choque (Black Star Liner) and Mark Gardener... Volume II will be a long before you know it!!!!

Well it should have been... Covid came and went, then Russ and Michael regrouped and decided to put the 5 piece 'live version' together. 
Joining Russ and Michael are:

Martin Betts on Bass
Sean Bradnick on Drums
Swiss Harris on all manner of musical gadgets

New songs are been written and recorded sporadically. Live dates are just  been announced (see Bands In Town Link) 

The first fruits of this new harvest are now available in their latest release '(My Heart Belongs To...) The Beaches'... just like buses there will be more along very soon

Stay safe, be well
