Wrong Speed Records. Retired electric guitarist.
New and incoming on Wrong Speed / Ernest Jenning / La Tempesta. One of my favourite bands of all time. If you'd told 20-something me that nearly-50 me would release their music I'd have thought you were nuts. More info in good time... follow the label on the socials if you don't already...

Was chatting with someone last night and they were saying this and the Gimic album are currently their one-two for the year and it's hard to not agree. Arguably polar opposite in sound but as we say, genre is nothing. What's around the sound is everything. Filing things is for accountants

It showed (as if we don't already know) that the world is run by people who can only understand anything through their own direct experience. "Doesn't affect me = doesn’t exist".
Heartbreak Welkin@umabreakdown.bsky.social · 4d agoCovid one of those things that exposes class lines pretty starkly.
There isn't a better (non-WSR band 😉) in the UK than Gimic. Their album launch last night, sold out, absolute vibe. They can play like hell. The vocal is incendiary. They've really created something positive in Bristol and beyond. Killer band. Check the album on @drunkensailorrecs.bsky.social

Shropshire and Beyond@shropshirebeyond.bsky.social · 4w agoUp among the rooftops - a view of Bishop’s Castle looking down High Street towards St John’s Church. In the distance is Withins Wood, on the slopes of Sunnyhill. The buildings provide a bright splash of colour in this quirky little market town, which is only a #Shropshire
Perhaps its just the type of person who hires your type of wedding band eh?
fesshole 🧻@fesshole.bsky.social · 2w agoFunction band here, we attend probably, 80 or so weddings a year. Your speeches all sound the same. Your first dance I've played a hundred times before. Nothing about your day is special. Its. A. Carbon. Copy. Of. All. The. Weddings. I. Attend. Hate weddings. Love free cake.

I work for a public sector body. Someone important has had an idea and wants us to do it. Everyone agrees the idea is not viable. But because we can't say no, we're paying a consultancy £100k to come up with the evidence to say its not viable. This happens a lot.
like I needed a reminder to re-listen to heycolossus.bandcamp.com/album/you-la...

The first 50 copies of the LP come with a companion book by Fupper, a fractured story to accompany the sounds. The whole package is stunning. I'll post a link on Friday to remind you...

Sumlin@sumlin.bsky.social · 3w agoNo one does it like Fupper. The instinctive and uncanny use of sound and tone is magical. "His music is dusty and haunted. It's a blurry city. It's being invisible on a busy pavement. It's decades flying by a year an hour as single minutes take days" - @xeaglepissx.bsky.social

Luckily for you, it's the 22nd (!) release by the mysterious, mercurial FUPPER. "Nullius" is his 4th release for the label. You can hear the first song (and see the beautiful video) here:
