Pok: festivals and new recordings

Posted by Wudmaster on 30/06/12

Pok has been performing at some festivals recently and adding new recordings of songs to his Soundcloud page. If you would like to visit his Soundcloud page to listen to his latest recordings Rose on Lewis Road, Poison in the Water and The Ruins of Cezarel, you can do so by clicking here.

These are Pok‘s words concerning his recent rather soggy festival experiences:

“Summer Solstice at the Heel Stone at Stonehenge was a vigil the night through in the rain, sheltered by the stone, my umbrella and tweed jacket, talking to Jez Little Green Man.

Come sunrise the sky cleared of rain – though not enough to see the sun until later – and a grand circle of blessings, handfastings, druidic pledges and poem was held with Arthur Pendragon and druids. I sung versions of Key to the Gates and We Shall Be Free.

Sunrise Celebration was also very wet until the Sunday, when I took off my boots and walked in the mud and sun.

Saturday and Sunday night saw John and I appear playing tunes on Dave Sanger’s solar powered Horsedrawn Stage.

Probably most memorable was John’s rendition of that ‘for she invented medicinal compound’ song by The Scaffold: Lily the Pink.”

Dark Company: demos playlist fixed

Posted by Wudmaster on 27/06/12

We reported a little earlier that some of our playlists were broken and the Dark Company Demos was one of them. We have now fixed the Flamplayer playlist for the various Dark Company demo tracks here at Wud Records. Hooray!

The Dark Company Demos playlist that we fixed features four songs from the Benign Inquisition album and the entire Mind Dance album, both of which are now at alpha stage.

If you would like to listen to the Demos, you can click here.

If you would like to listen to the latest updates of the Mind Dance album, you can click here.

Wud Records: broken playlists

Posted by Wudmaster on 22/06/12

Thanks to some emails from our visitors, it has recently come to our attention that some of our Flamplayer playlists are not working terribly well, with numerous missing file errors. We shall endeavour to fix these issues in the near future and apologise for any inconvenience.

Wud Records: recommended albums at Bandcamp

Posted by Wudmaster on 21/06/12

Wud Records has changed their three recommended albums at Bandcamp. If you would like us to recommend your album at Bandcamp, please contact us by emailing info@wudrecords.co.uk and if we like it we’ll add you to our list.

These are our new recommended albums at Bandcamp:

http://blbz.bandcamp.com/album/bright-lights-big-zombie
Indie rock and pop from our shoegazing neighbours Bright Lights, Big Zombie. Surprisingly infectious, slightly spaced out and touched by early Pink Floyd in parts. An honest and refreshing album.

http://thecoffincollectors.bandcamp.com/album/leopardskin-tales
Strange dark gothic rockabilly with a big guitar sound. Elements of comedy in the lyrics and the music and refuses to take itself seriously. Suggestions of Stray Cats, Sultans of Ping and B52s.

http://carpetfaceaudible.bandcamp.com/album/land-of-the-gooseneck-steppers-album-out-2012-on-itunes
After seeing their brilliant version of Baboon Shampoo on YouTube we had to recommend this. Cool, amusing and highly listenable, these old-skool rapmeisters will improve your day. NWA, Stereo MCs, Us3.

These are our previous recommended albums at Bandcamp:

http://hungersleeprecords.bandcamp.com/album/propeller-album
This album is a beautiful, cerebral, multi-genre collection of lovingly produced songs. It has a ‘big’ sound and was created with careful attention to detail. These songs will stick inside your head.

http://karlzumar.bandcamp.com/album/my-guitar
Charming and quirky, the wonderful original songs on this album are performed with ease by Karl. His voice and guitar recordings contain elements of legendary folk Johns – Rembourn, Martyn and James.

http://xiduspain.bandcamp.com/album/know-pain-know-gain
Xidus Pain – a Jedi of juxtaposition and highly talented modern poet. His subtle linguistic cleverness will make you smile. Fans of words will love this album even if hip-hop is not a favourite genre.

We aim to change the Wud Records recommended albums at Bandcamp every six weeks or so.
