A new song by The Bastard Sons of Dennis has been uploaded to their Cosy Lube Turtle page. This song is called Wings Wetted Down and is a beautifully crafted song written by the Blue Oyster Cult from Long Island, New York.

We are going to keep this song on special offer as an individual track for a few days and keep the album at the same price before this song was added too.

MonkeyFest started about 45 minutes ago and lasts from today until Sunday evening. If you are anywhere near Woking or can travel you will have a great time if you can make it there.

Today the festival will consist of mostly workshops and tuition, as well as all the usual shenanigans that go on at festivals. Tomorrow is the main performance day with shows from some of the biggest and best names in the virtuoso shred guitar world. Sunday is again mainly workshops and clinics.

It’s not too late to grab a ticket and whizz yourself and your friends along there. If you follow this link you will arrive at the MonkeyFest website where you can obtain last minute tickets.

Propaganda, the 2000 album by Recluse, has been added to our archives. We have been very fond of the music of Recluse since we first came upon them playing live at The Hideaway in Torquay many years ago. As there seems to be no representation of them anywhere on the web we felt that this should be rectified so that everyone can enjoy their wonderful playing and songcraft.

Don’t forget, MonkeyFest is happening THIS WEEKEND! July 1st-3rd 2011, and with acts such as Guthrie Govan, Godsized, Rob Chapman, Sons of Icarus, Us Against All and Jess Lewis performing live, you won’t want to miss this weekend of gourmet guitaring from some of the best in the business.

There will be a number of workshops and tuition from some of the performers as well, so if you are a player this is a real opportunity for you to get down and dirty with some true virtuosos of the guitar.

If you have not managed to acquire tickets yet, this link will take you directly to the MonkeyFest ticketing page.

The 1993 Rage in Heaven album by Dark Company is undergoing a full remastering process at the moment. We are also making new artwork for the album and plan to re-release it soon. There may be some bonus tracks added, much as there were with the Signmaker album, although we are still twiddling our beards over this matter.

During the next few days while we carry out this work, the Rage in Heaven album is for sale for digital download at a discounted price at Bandcamp. To visit the Rage in Heaven page at Bandcamp, where you can see the redesigned front cover for the album, please click here.

The album cover art has been upgraded for a number of the albums we have on sale at Bandcamp. To check out the new look to a few album covers and visit the Wud Records Bandcamp page to listen to some of the wonderful music we have for sale there, please click here.

We will be bringing readers of our ‘News’ section some special offers over at that site quite soon as well, so please stay tuned!
