May 2023 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 2023.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the precise moment 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. :)

Sharing is very, very important !!

Sharing is a massive help for independent artists. They don’t have big corporations and mainstream media saturating every channel with their product. Every independent share counts.

Giving something a ‘like’ is nice, but sharing exposes the artist to your followers. This means that anybody in your community can see and click on what you shared. They can potentially enjoy it as well. It enables somebody new to discover the artist and become their newest fan. You create the chance for that to happen.

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 - at least the one before yours, yours, and the one after yours to hear how you stack up - and... enjoy!

May 2023 Discoveries

Various Tones

Stumbling And Falling

A Thousand Tears (Human Version) ft. Denny Lloyd

Men and women without qualities usually depend fully on the outer world to form their characters. Lack of any profound essence and ambiguity as a general attitude to life are their principal characteristics. Occasionally though, some of them might have something they wish to express. 

When this happens, the Men Without Qualities to whom you are now introduced usually write pieces of music. And this is what they have done now. They have also had the guts to record these ten musical pieces of work, in close collaboration with a man previously best known for his live keyboard playing with In Flames, and his work with bands like Ghost, Tikkle Me, MCC and Dead Soul; Niels Nielsen.

This is the 5:th single from the debut album (Out Oct 13:th 2021)

Holiday Headache (MASTER)

I know my songs are terrible, but this time I got over myself

Lyrics:

And if it makes you feel alright
and if it makes you feel alive
and if it makes you feel like you belong
I guess you’d say you found what you were looking for

And if the sparks shine too bright,
If every night space and time
just fade away as you see the stars
lying in who knows whose arms

Oh, It took me a while to being aware
at this point there’s no return 
So don’t come back, we're not that mad
or are we?

So this time I just don't want to know
This time I'm sure, I don't want to know
I think I have seen enough
I've already seen enough
for a lifetime, two or more
so in the morning, I'll be gone

Making more distance
not a glance, you locked the door
you're miles away now
you're miles away now

Just keep your distance
take a deep breath and walk 
I'm miles away now
I'm miles away now


And the grass is always greener on the other side
and the high you go is how hard you eventually fall
but how can you fall living underground?
I’d like someone to make me understand
Because it seems this time I'm going straight 
to the...

void

LETRA:
Y si te hace sentir bien
y si te hace sentir viva
y si te hace sentir que perteneces
Supongo que dirías que encontraste lo que estabas buscando

Y si las chispas brillan demasiado,
Si cada noche el espacio y el tiempo
se desvanecen mientras ves las estrellas
Acostada en quién sabe los brazos de quién

Oh, me tomó un tiempo darme cuenta
en este punto no hay retorno
Así que no vuelvas, no estamos tan locos
¿o lo estamos?

Así que esta vez no quiero saber
Esta vez estoy seguro, no quiero saber
Creo que he visto suficiente
ya he visto suficiente
para toda una vida, dos o más
así que por la mañana, me habré ido

Haciendo más distancia
ni una mirada, cerraste la puerta
estás a millas de distancia ahora
estás a millas de distancia ahora

Solo mantén tu distancia
respira hondo y camina
Estoy a millas de distancia ahora
Estoy a millas de distancia ahora


Y la hierba siempre es más verde del otro lado
y lo alto que llegas es lo fuerte que eventualmente caes
pero ¿Cómo puedes caer viviendo bajo tierra?
quisiera que alguien me hiciera entender
Porque parece que esta vez voy directo
hacia el...

vacío

GRASS - Unfinished Outtake

RAINY DAY (RUFF instrumental)

I-75
In a walkman
In the backseat
Playing Rocketman 

US 40
Burns a coffeepot
It was a restaurant
It was a coffeepot

And on the Skyway
We were racing snow
It swirls in headlights
As far as you can go

Hawaii-250
Volcano Road
Looking at the clouds below
Thinking that we might explode

Memory Road

I-15
West of Vegas
East of LA
See sea of cactus

405
A couple of payments due
Rattle of the pill refills
And I’m next to you

Memory Road

We saw a story
They can read a mouse’s mind
Replayed A Touch of Evil
That it memorized

Made the movies
Stolen souls reside
Machines just mix and match
What they memorize

Memory Road

Memory Road

Nothing worth Nickin'

* 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.
