I just did a demo for my new song "Sunday Drive."

Lyrics:

Shangri la
Into this budding siren song we fall
No pickpockets to steal our buzz
Feel the swing of lovers as one

Sunday drive 
Lonely Billy Holiday mourns time
One more bend in this winding road
Countdown from ten here we go

Out on holiday floating on the breezy river Seine
Looking after you
As you care for me
Pulling all the strings

Years went by
With no wind for sailing
While learning to survive
By the skin of our teeth 
but that's over now

Our cup runneth over
We made it the honest way
Laughing in the face
Of those that’d bar our way

Ooh la la
Kisses on our fingertips that thaw
Chilly evenings with searching hands
Pulse is up sun is down
 
Shameless zen
Spreading honey on this buttered bread
Relish this picnic with dizzy heads
Spring has come 
Just like you said

Out on holiday floating on the breezy river Seine
Looking after you
As you care for me
Pulling all the strings

Years went by
With no wind for sailing
While learning to survive
By the skin of our teeth 
but that's over now

Our cup runneth over
We made it the honest way
Laughing in the face
Of those that’d bar our way

Sunday Drive

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn mostly from the 1974 Secret Treaties studio album.

Chuck would often introduce this song by telling the crowd that it was famously covered by Metallica. "We wrote it of course! Cough ahem..."

A few artistically tasteful variations on the original have been made for this version.

One of the composers, Joe Bouchard, listened to it and granted his royal seal of approval.

Both Derek (panned right) and Chuck (panned left) take solos during the song.

Astronomy was often the final song of a live set from The Bastard Sons of Dennis.

Music and lyrics: A. Bouchard, A. Lanier, R. Meltzer.

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the 1972 eponymous Blue Öyster Cult studio album.

The percussion instrument at the beginning of this recording is an old disused CPU fan and its various danglesome janglesome appendages.

Chuck would tune his guitar to DADGAD for this interpretation of this song.

She's as Beautiful as a Foot was sometimes used to open longer Bastard Sons of Dennis performances.

Derek takes the solo at the beginning.

Derek Broom - vocals, guitar, percussion
Chuck Palmer - guitar
Dave Danielli - bass

The Subhuman by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
Album: Cruelty to Blues

The Subhuman is a cover song.
Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1974 Secret Treaties album. 

Music: E. Bloom
Lyrics: S. Pearlman

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the versions on the 1974 Secret Treaties studio album, and the 1975 live BOC album On Your Feet Or On Your Knees.

The Subhuman was one of The Bastard Sons of Dennis's most progressive songs. Chuck would tune his guitar to a drop-D for the interpretation.

This particular version owes much to the wonderful live On Your Feet Or On Your Knees recording, where guitarist Donald Roeser demonstrates his absolute mastery of the melodic minor.

Within this cover there is a lot of guitar soloing. It is all highly definitive and would be performed more-or-less identically by The Bastard Sons of Dennis every time. Both Chuck and Derek take solos.

Performers:
Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
Chuck Palmer - guitar
Dave Danielli - bass

Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One, exeter uk.
Bass recorded in north devon, November 2023.
Produced, mixed and mastered by George Davies 2025.

There is a live video of The Bastard Sons of Dennis performing The Subhuman. Due to some disruption when an audience member fell against the camera person, it comes in two parts.

Wings Wetted Down by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
Album: Cruelty to Blues

Wings Wetted Down is a cover song.
Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1973 Tyranny and Mutation album. 

Music and lyrics: A. Bouchard, J. Bouchard.

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the 1973 Tyranny and Mutation album.

Wings Wetted Down is a truly wonderful song, often overlooked. The craftsmanship of its composition by the legendary Bouchard brothers is masterful.

This version is in G# minor. The chord progressions are so beautifully constructed, with a minor second A major and a 'devil's interval' flattened fifth chord of D major providing a gloriously satisfying twist.

Both Chuck and Derek take solos. Derek's is an addition that is not found on the original version.

Wings Wetted Down was always a very popular live song. It was performed on many occasions by The Bastard Sons of Dennis and introduced by the band with a cryptic and comical description.

Performers:
Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
Chuck Palmer - guitar, vocals
Dave Danielli - bass

Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One, exeter uk.
Bass recorded in north devon, February 2024.
Produced, mixed and mastered by George Davies 2025.

* 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.
