You would have thought that Rugby was famous for little, apart from, er, rugby, but no longer as the Rugby born Adam Scrimshire unleashes his musical wears upon an unsuspecting public! Its been a long journey for this young producer and mutli-instrumentalist, ever since his nan introduced him to an Errol Garner record when he was 14. Scrimshire's sound is steeped in jazz, soul and funk, but with a nod to contemporary sounds, and with strong popular song writing sensibilities. This man knows how to write a tune!! Scrimshire's debut album "Along Came The Devil One Night" is unleashed on May 25th!! Hold tight!!

Press Release :
You would have thought that Rugby was famous for little more than, er, rugby, but no longer!! Egg chasing takes a back seat as Rugby born Adam Scrimshire unveils his debut album on Wah Wah 45s, and what a cracker it is!! It's been a long journey for this young singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist ever since his nan introduced him to an Errol Garner record at the tender age of 14. Scrimshire's sound is steeped in jazz, soul, funk and a little folk, but with a nod to contemporary sounds, and a strong crossover 'pop' edge. Be in no doubt – this boy knows how to write a tune.

Following on from the club orientated singles 'You Will Save Me' and 'Warm Sound' (remixed by Spiritual South and Aaron Jerome respectively), Scrimshire released his third single, 'Certainly' (featuring Norwegian chanteuse Inga-Lill Aker) earlier this year to rave reviews, and now brings you his first full length album, already getting attention from Gilles Peterson and Nick Luscombe.

It's a sometimes melancholic, sometimes uplifting piece, with a very 'English' feel. We think it's safe to say this album couldn't have been made anywhere else!! Check the pastoral 'All Roads Lead You Home' and folky title track for evidence of this. Elsewhere, the afore-mentioned Miss Aker adds soul on 'Warm Sound', Claire Laurent supplies the jazz on 'Springtime', and Rob Hynd the rasping vocals on 'The Low Road' and 'Mistaken', while Wah Wah 45s' Stac cameos on the quite exquisite 'I Have Come To You'.

Upcoming Wah Wah 45s releases :
MAY 4TH :: Various Artists / Underground Hits & Exclusive Bits: 4 CD and digital release
MAY 11TH :: Part Time Heroes / Meanwhile Remixed digital Only EP release
MAY 18TH :: Alister Johnson / Invitation Limited 7 inch and digital release
MAY 25TH :: Scrimshire / Along Came The Devil One night CD and digital release

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
