Fun Facts:
Same Old Road Again was a song George wrote to express his frustration at some of the unreliable musicians he had worked with.
Most of the guitar is played using fingers, not a pick.
It's not until the solo at the end of the song that he swaps to a plectrum.
This song was the second song Rough Terrain ever played live.
They ran into it from a cover of Steppenwolf's Born to Be Wild.
Rough Terrain performed this song many, many times.
It was also a part of the set of the first incarnation of The Ug Brothers.
This was the first demo to feature the Boss 220A drum machine, instead of the DR55 Dr Rhythm.
It required a much greater time investment in terms of programming.
He also had to add a few judicious extra beats to make some of the flams and fills.
These had to be added live to the drum machine track as it was being recorded.

Band of Georges: Same Old Road Again

Out of His Head by George (and friends)
From Volume VII Side B of the Band of Georges.

Composed 3rd July 1986.

This version was performed by The Subterraineans and can be found on The Subterraineans' Demo.

Dean Trotter – vocals
George Davies – guitars, vocals
Jerry Peirce – bass
Graham Barbe – drums

Recorded December 1986.

Fun Facts:
* Out of His Head is a song that features a collaboration between George and Dean Trotter.
* This song is in the key of D minor.
* The lyrics were written on 3rd July 1986, according to an original lyric document.
* The guitar part had been composed a few months previously.
* George was very pleased that Dean was able to write some lyrics to complete the song as the guitar part pleased him.
* Dean's melodic wailings towards the end represents the sirens of police cars.
* The drum solo represents the blows from fisticuffs, boots and truncheons that rain down from all sides upon the victims of police brutality.
* Dean wrote these lyrics very shortly after being shocked and horrified to witness his friend Jack the Frag being brutally arrested and beaten in Exeter High Street in broad daylight at around lunchtime for having a blim of hashish in his pocket.
* Dean himself had been attacked and brutally beaten by police whilst travelling to the unofficial 1986 Stonehenge Festival just a couple of weeks before.
* The previous year, the Stonehenge Festival was prevented from happening by the police.
* That incident became known as The Battle of the Beanfield, and the terrible and unnecessary police brutality was documented in the media worldwide.
* The Levellers wrote a song about the incident on their well known album Levelling the Land.
* A few weeks after the Stonehenge battle, in autumn 1985, George was taken into the back yard of Exeter police station and assaulted by an officer for reporting his bicycle stolen.
* Police brutality was commonplace in England in the 1980s.
* A lot of people in those days referred to the police as “Thatcher’s Gestapo”.
* Fortunately the uk police are far better today than they were in the 1980s.
* Due to many years of cassette deterioration, the quality of this recording is not great.
* We have managed to improve a little on what remained.
* Out of His Head continued to live on as a staple of Rough Terrain’s live set after The Subterraineans had folded.

Sadly, Dean took his own life by suicide at the Clifton suspension bridge, Bristol, in 1994. He was just 29 years old.

Dean had no help at all from the uk medical profession or social services for his mental health, addiction and homelessness. If he had had some professional help he would surely still be here with us today.

Rest in peace, Dean.

Band of Georges: Out of His Head

To the World by George.
From Volume VII Side B of the Band of Georges.

Music by G. Davies.
Composed 1st/2nd/3rd July 1986.

Recorded May 1987.
Mixed August 1987.
Lifted from cassette June 2025.

Copyright © 1987 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1986 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
To the World is a song in E major with a funky breakdown towards the end.
As Robert Plant once said, this is a song of hope.
George wrote it when he was considering leaving exeter to live in London.
He felt that exeter was stifling him and that London offered a lot more opportunities for a musician.
To the World is a song about going to the world, and he hoped to take his girlfriend with him.
Things worked out differently in the end.

FAMOUS FACE (BONUS)

Originally conceived in 2021 as an instrumental, “Anal Sex” began as part of @theuropeancanon’s early live AV sets following the release of their TAXAO EP. Built around a droning Korg Monologue bassline, sparse percussion, sampled jazz loops, and a pounding 808 kick, the track steadily evolved—layered over time with breakbeats and added rhythmic complexity.

While living in Barcelona, @dj_tsome contributed raw, unfiltered vocals recounting a surreal and raunchy sexual encounter, adding a chaotic human texture to the track. Further contributions came from Angelo Willem Ricci, Troublesome’s roommate at the time in Raval, who laid down jagged, No Wave-inspired guitar takes that were later chopped and reassembled in post-production.

The resulting track is an unholy fusion—part sleazy club anthem, part experimental collage—channeling the aggression of The Prodigy, the transgressive spirit of Genesis P-Orridge and Throbbing Gristle, the grit of So Solid Crew, and the abrasive guitar energy of the downtown New York No Wave scene.

“Anal Sex” is out now on streaming platforms, and available for download as part of “The Grooveyard: Volume 2” on cassette tape and digital format ⛓️

* 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.
