Quickfix are delighted to welcome back Liv Luce (who was on our first ever release Caliber's Someday Now EP) for her debut solo material - Magpie is the first taste from her forthcoming EP which will showcase her piano playing as well as her already familiar Vocal and Bass talents - for now though it's a grungey guitar led political and philosophical protest song, ably backed by her spouse drummer Pat Holmberg (smilex, the rock of travolta, black nielsen). Magpie hits streaming on March 29th supported by a compelling promotional video/film made by Anthony Ficarelli. Enjoy! :-)

Awake

Dark, driving and dynamic, this track is reminiscent of 80s pumping rock mixed with a good dose of QOTSA.

Lyrics

Now you think there's no going back
Only a place where you pretend
You do that by typing a few words
to build storylines

It's Your virtual life
It's Your ritual life
There's nothing much to say again, again, again it's useless now

When the night has come
You become… this digital shadow
So… powerful behind a wall of codes and bytes
makes you feel unreachable

It's Your virtual life
It's Your ritual life
There's nothing much to say again, again, again it's useless now

It's Your virtual life
It's Your ritual life
It's Your virtual life
It's Your ritual life
It's Your virtual life
It's Your ritual life
Virtual life, virtual life, virtual
Ritual life, ritual life, ritual
Your virtual life was always a game
Your ritual life was always the same
Nowhere to go nowhere to go
Nowhere to go nowhere to go
It's Your virtual life

Your life is now reduced to a game
Where you lost your integrity
Every parcel of your mind
Is stolen by your new identity

It's Your virtual life
It's Your ritual life
It's Your virtual life
It's Your ritual life
There's nothing much to say again, again, again it's useless now

Your virtual life was always a game
Nowhere to go Nowhere to go
Your ritual life was always the same
No way to glow No way to glow
Your virtual life is over now
Your virtual life is over now, you know
Your virtual life is over now, you know
Your virtual life is over now, you know

Virtual Life

Lyrics

Work, baby work
Don’t let the pain get to you
Remember who you are
Don’t let no one Nowhere near you

Work, baby work
don’t think Do what you’re told
Show nothing to the herd
Be no one to this damned world

Be brave in this ocean of lies and work.
Work, baby work, you got to work!

Welcome / workers/ to our big company/ come over
We’ll protect you/ we’re smart/ and very clever/ you’ll be happy
here

Work, baby work
As a rightful slave, You won’t get paid
Don’t look for respect
You’re just a number … Zero or… Ah!

Work, baby work
Follow the rules You won’t get hurt
just stay aware
Glide along the wall… keep calm or get out

Do not look over your shoulder and work. Work, baby work, you got
to work!
The world is not what you expected, close your eyes. You got to
work!

As you know/ we have some issues/ we’re working very hard /to
find solutions/ without disturbing our workforce/ Our competition
is quite tough/ I’m sure you’ll understand. What? We must follow
the plan/ and listen to our shareholders/ our customers are most
important.

Work, baby work
Don’ look up you’ll be surprised
Don’ panic, cos’ you’re life
could have meaning you know

Work, baby work
Spend your time on something else
Watch out for the trap
And be real’ choosy when your pick your gang

It’s over/ no more compromise / you went too far/ since you didn’t
accept our deal/ there’s only one thing left to do/
You’re fired!


Work Baby Work

Lyrics :
I was hiding in the dark
But you were not afraid
I was like a lone wolf
Though, you were not scared

You convinced me I was made for you
I found it amazing and very creepy
You offered me all I needed
You gave me all your secrets
Accepting me as I was
To be ready for my D Day

The way it started was unreal
No matter where I met you
How could you have changed my wild life?
You were this woman
From my old dreams and my old thoughts

But like in every couple
The first fights came
Like a cold wave
Waking me up
Leaving me to face to my
Misunderstandings

I don’t know why you chose me
You saw me smiling, even crying
Always connected with this irresistible urge to live
And you were waiting for my…

My life was so different
(D Day)
I was like a brand new man
Everything was so easy
(D Day)
Nothing could happen to me
Like I was a child walking on clouds

Madness and anxiety
Were my dark shadows
Things I did were so crazy
I cannot believe what I’ve done to you,
What I’ve done to you

You finally gave up
I was not the man you expected to live with
I keep a scar in my heart
Will I be prepared for my D Day?

The Time Apart - D-Day

Quickfix Recordings is an independent label based in Oxford, UK.
 
It was started with the aim of giving the flagging music industry a much - needed shot of musical excitement. Ten years down the line and over 20 successful releases (including debuts by bands such as Youthmovie Sountrack Strategies and Smilex) Quickfix Recordings continues to push new music.
 
The idea of Quickfix Recordings was conceived whilst living in Manchester in 1997 where we were inspired by the attitude of the local DIY Music scene there. Manchester had a lot going for it not only was it the home of the legendry Factory Records it was also home to InTheCity and the developing Beehive Mill and Northern Quarter scene. We soon set up a small online compilation tape subscription label called Glass Axe. Each tape was hand copied over old spoken word and nursery rhyme tapes and sent to subscribers featuring the best in up and coming unsigned bands from both Oxford and Manchester. 

In 2000 we returned to Oxford, in the time we had been away the Oxford Music scene had exploded with the coming of Radio 1 Sound City. Great bands such as the The Rock of Travolta, Meanwhile Back in Communist Russia, Eeeblee and a girl band called Caliber had formed and so Quickfix Recordings was born. Our debut release by Caliber 'Someday Now' was released in the January 2002. 

Quickfix Recordings soon developed from being a basic record label and progressed to artist management, recording, gig promoting and radio shows. 

For a number of years we put together the popular local music radio show 'The Fortnightly Fix' on Oxford's Passion 107.9fm and have also had shows on student radio Oxide and OX4 Radio. 

Over the past 10 years we have promoted gigs at many Oxfordshire venues including The Wheatsheaf, Fat Lils, The Ex Hall, Kiss Bar, The Zodiac and The Port Mahon. Gig promotion for us started with helping book bills for the local Abingdon Skittle Alley collective back in 2002, we then helped with the One Louder nights at The Wheatsheaf when, in 2004 we took over the regular monthly slot and turned them into Quickfix Recordings nights. Over the years we have put on a whole host of bands of all styles from Oxfordshire and also further a field, including Frank Turner, Meanwhile... Back In Communist Russia, Fixers, Youthmovies, To The Bones, Nought and Meet Me In St Louis. 

10 years on we still continue to push new music.
