Liking the neo-dystopian darkness of this. :)

May 2020 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 May 2020.

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 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:
These tears can't fall
All of the time
See I feel the earth move
So I've got to get out of here
To stay alive

I see lovers eyes
Fall to the floor
In a city that weeps
Our generation
Searching for more

And you hold my fears
Now I'm tending to tears
And my fears
They got me tending to tears

And you hold my fears
Now I'm tending to tears
And my fears
They got me tending to tears
Tending to tears
Tending to tears

Ballads of the Mortal

Tending to Tears

Any Day Now

California

A Summer Field (Demo)

Copywrite

This is the song written in response to thieves who stole £8,000 worth of music gear from our practise room. We responded in the only way we could. Spread the word to make sure they hear it!

"The moment the team heard his music in our listening sessions, we knew this was a songwriter we wanted to get behind. Neal’s music can be likened to Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen -  dark, gritty and sombre. His music is real and evokes a deep emotional response to the listener both through the sonics of his music but also through the sophisticated story telling in his lyrics. We couldn’t be more thrilled to represent and be an advocate for such a talented songwriter"
- Jessica Holmick, Creative Director, 66 Music

“There's a film a few years ago, which I absolutely adored called 'Hell or High Water'. The soundtrack to that was written by Nick Cave and there is elements of that soundtrack in this. When it starts you can easily picture yourself on a desert highway with tumble weeds and sand blasting. He has hit the mark with what it was going for.”
- YHHTMP

"Beautiful songwriting"
- BBC Introducing

"Neo-dystopian darkness"
- Wud Records

“Love the tempo and riffs.....R.E.M meets Tom Petty”
-Randy Skaggs, Q108

"If you like Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Howe Gelb, Calexico, Iron & Wine, Dr John, Johnny Cash et al, then you will love this album. Neal Sawyer's debut offering stands shoulder to shoulder with anything these established artists have produced. He has a passion for music that is difficult to measure and the care and love he's poured into every single song, is evident from the very first note of the first track."
- Alan Rutherford

* 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.

Tending to Tears
