- The Ug Brothers: Drowning In Your Eyes (Ugstrumental)Drowning In Your Eyes was the only song from the original 1986 line-up of The Ug Brothers to make it onto a stage, as George was never able to play Mouse Art to Graham's satisfaction in 1986 and the band never took that particular tune to the stage during their second odyssey, which was a shame. Drowning In Your Eyes was in fact the song that The Ug Brothers played first at their first show, at the Cavern in Exeter, on Christmas Eve in 1994. Being the sole survivor from before, it seemed like the obvious thing to do.It was a famous and auspicious performance as the band had already developed a considerable reputation and the venue probably exceeded its fire regulation quota by a factor of three or four, the place was absolutely crammed full of revelers. When The Ug Brothers took to the stage, the whole place went crazy. Honey Sucks, who were performing later, were somewhat disgruntled as the venue emptied soon after The Ug Brothers finished their set, leaving them playing to a rather sad and empty hall.These recordings of instrumentals – or Ugstrumentals – by The Ug Brothers were made at Graham’s flat in Fore Street, Exeter, above the Real McCoy Arcade during the late winter of 1994/5. They are most of the set of The Ug Brothers, including various pieces that were never performed live due to having had no lyrics written for them.There are no vocals as Natalie was not there on the occasions that these Ugstrumentals were recorded. The idea was to have something to listen to and work on with a view to creating lyrics, and also as a karaoke tape for Natalie to sing along to when practising. Few further lyrics were forthcoming as things turned out. These Ugstrumental pieces still sound wonderful and full of interesting musical ideas. The concept of Ugstrumental pieces such as these was later developed by the Flicker project.Copyright (c) Wud Records 1995, (p) Ug Music/Explicit Music 19954 min
- The Ug Brothers: The Fool (Ugstrumental)The Fool was almost one of the first batch of Ug Brothers songs and when added to their live set became a regular favourite and often the band's set opener, with its tempo cranking slowly up and building to a funky reggae rock soul groove. Graham and Dave had a wonderful intuitive understanding of each other's playing and were able to accomplish this with aplomb. It also enabled the lighting guy and the sound guy to fiddle with things as the band gradually appeared on the stage and began playing.These recordings of instrumentals – or Ugstrumentals – by The Ug Brothers were made at Graham’s flat in Fore Street, Exeter, above the Real McCoy Arcade during the late winter of 1994/5.

- The Ug Brothers: Good Thing (Ugstrumental)Good Thing may have been the very last song to be added to the live set of The Ug Brothers before the band disbanded in 1he autumn of 1995. It proved to be a pop;uar addition to their live shows with its happy uplifting positive lyrics penned by Dave.These recordings of instrumentals – or Ugstrumentals – by The Ug Brothers were made at Graham’s flat in Fore Street, Exeter, above the Real McCoy Arcade during the late winter of 1994/5.

- Demon Groove Lizards: Horizontal HilariousHorizontal Hilarious by Demon Groove Lizards.From the EP Demo Two by Demon Groove Lizards.Demon Groove Lizards were a fantastic heavy funk and hard rock band from Devon. They formed in 1993.Demon Groove Lizards' high energy performances were notable for the band's outstanding musicianship. Virtuosity was a virtue which they continued to value over the course of every lineup change.Demo Two features four original songs composed and performed by Demon Groove Lizards.By the time Demon Groove Lizards recorded Demo Two, their line-up had changed somewhat compared to their earlier Demo One recording. The band's hardcore of Ian Lee on bass and Brent Cassidy on rhythm guitar remained. Ben (vocals), James (lead guitar) and Andy (drums) had all left the ensemble and been replaced. Joining the band were Phil Stamp on vocals, Jay Henson on lead guitar and Chris White on drums.In between the recording of Demo One and Demo Two, more than a year passed.

* 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.
