Music and lyrics by G. Davies.

Fun Facts:
It's Just the Same Again started out as a pretty guitar piece in D.
Some of the inspiration for it came from somebody who played the same song every week at Topsham Folk Club, when Lemming Meringue played there.
Due to the time of year, George made it into a Christmas song.
As he has a profound dislike for Christmas songs in general, he regrets doing so.
The tambourine was Ken's.

Fun Facts:
This version of Get on the Road is performed by The Subterraineans and comes from their Demo.
Get on the Road was composed during the days of The Subterraineans.
It quickly became a part of that band's set and included in their Demo.
After The Subterraineans folded and morphed into Rough Terrain, Get on the Road continued to be a song in Rough Terrain's set.
It was performed live many, many times.
It is in the key of A minor.
The clean guitar is played using a capot on the fifth fret.
The dirty guitar uses no capot.
This song was about the increasing desire to leave exeter.
In 1986, London was the place to be for a young musician.

The key of this song is G# minor.

The main riff is a tribute to Cornish band The Mechanics and their hit single The Power of Love.
The Mechanics performed a barnstorming set on the main stage in 1986.

* 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.
