Archives: sampler playlist refreshed
A refreshed playlist for the Wud Records Archives Sampler has been published. We didn’t refresh the old playlist since we added the Demon Groove Lizards to the Archives a few years ago, and felt that such a change was long overdue!
The Archives section of our website is where we honour and remember the music of great bands from the past that we have known and loved. Once in a while, somebody who was actually a part of making the music in question discovers their music on our site. So far, everyone has been delighted to find it!
We hope that you, our listener, will listen to these bands and enjoy hearing them as much as we enjoyed following them and attending their shows back in the day.
The new Sampler Playlist contains one track from each of our Archive bands, to whet your appetite and tickle your ears, and hopefully engage your curiosity enough for you to investigate them further.
The outgoing, old playlist has the following songs:
Demon Groove Lizards – Halloween Jack
Critical Error – Walk on Water
Andromeda – Sad
Dayglow – Grain of Sand
Watershed – Capital City Hero
Guarana – The Real World
Search Party – Inner Time
Stephen Yates – Beautificus
The Chillun – The Wine
Recluse – Reactions
Goodstaff – Superstitious White or Black
Murdock – Nocturnal
Prism – Blindest Night
Pyg – The Way It Is
Ember – Aquamarine
Spacegoats – Born of Stars
The new, refreshed playlist has the following songs:
Andromeda – Nothingtime TV
Watershed – Living in the Gap
Dayglow – Grain of Sand
Goodstaff – Billie Holiday
Recluse – Promise the World
Guarana – Old Life
Search Party – One Direction
Stephen Yates – Gorilla Tango
Demon Groove Lizards – Bring Me Home
The Chillun – Your Fault Not Mine
Critical Error – The Wilderness
Prism – Amnesty
Murdock – Box Shots
Pyg – Amerikay
Ember – Aquamarine
Spacegoats – Born of Stars
