Yur Mum are a Brazilian rock duo, formed by Anelise Kunz (bass/Vocals) and Fabio Couto (drums), based in London. The band, who've been active since 2016, have played shows around the world, sharing the stage with DIY stalwarts like Maid Of Ace, Svetlanas, Healthy Junkies, Hands Off Gretel, I-Destroy & Dream Nails, as well as modern-day legends such as New Model Army, The Adolescents, Vice Squad, Kirk Brandon, UK Subs, The Vibrators and TV Smith. In 2021 they signed to Chapter 22 Records, home of Dawn After Dark & Balaam And The Angel, in the UK and M&O Music in France for their new album, their first as a duo, Tropical Fuzz. In order to write their future, the couple had to first revisit their roots, which resulted in a crossover of heavy rock, with melody, groove and a punk attitude.

Mit "The Adverts" schrieb er in den 70ern Musikgeschichte, in den 80ern war er beinahe vergessen - und vor 30 Jahren belebten ihn 5 fünf Jungs aus Düsseldorf wieder. TV Smith, Punk Urgestein und Autor, hatte vor seinem Auftritt am 23.09. im Pitcher Zeit für einen Plausch mit Tobi am Tresen. (Claudia musste leider das Bett hüten - gute Besserung!). Er hat nicht nur die 80er überlebt, sondern auch Covid-19. Und als er im Bett lag, bekam seine Kreativität neuen Schwung: "Lockdown Holiday", so heißt sein aktuelles Album. Wir sprechen über die wilden 70er, alternde Punks und klären die Frage: Ist Punk tot, oder riecht er nur komisch?

Punk legend TV Smith joins me for Episode 208 of Life In The Stocks. This is an incredibly exciting guest for me, as The Adverts are on of my all-time favourite punk bands and TV Smith is one of my all-time favourite songwriters. The first two Adverts albums, and his debut solo album, Channel Five, have been key records throughout my life. His new album Lockdown Holiday is also great - it addresses not only the global pandemic that we're still in, but also the state of humanity and where we find ourselves in 2021.

Young Southpaw chats to Kevin Crace and gets the skinny on his legendary label, Humbug Records. Ignored in their native country, the label was nevertheless home to some of the finest eccentric British songwriters - Captain Sensible, Martin Newell, Simon Turner, Colin Lloyd Tucker, TV Smith... Some excellent records were made, along with homemade jam, early xmas parties, and the conviction/label motto that “two dozen people can’t be wrong”.  https://www.discogs.com/label/29069-Humbug-2   Kevin Crace: I wanted to create my own label and a label that was sort of themed, sort of stylized label. I was really listening to people like él Records. That’s really where I was coming from at that time. Me and my friends were some of the few people sitting around in London listening to él, listening to XTC, listening to this sort of esoteric pop music. And really I felt the world really needed that at that time. And I nicked a couple of the él artists, and was quite pleased to do so. Louis Philippe came and joined me and I did some work with Simon Turner, The King Of Luxembourg. I loved él. There were probably very few people who were ever listening to it, if I’m being honest, it was so specialized. It didn’t represent anything else that was going on in the music world at that time, but it just really worked for me, it was so beautiful. And as much as I’d come from a punk background, and an electronic background, and an indie background, I really like things like The Ink Spots. I love some of those old classic bands that had just been totally forgotten at that stage. So when 1992 came around, I started to look at acts to sign for Humbug Records and I found that there was this whole amazing selection of great, great British singer-songwriters that were homeless. They weren’t able to make money, they weren’t able to get signed, and they certainly weren’t able to get any recognition in the media for how great they were. So to some extent, there was an endless list of people that I could have signed as an independent at that stage.   So I started off, the first signing was Captain Sensible. I love The Damned. For me, they were my childhood band. They were the punks, not the Pistols, they were the real punks. And Captain had split with The Damned at that time, he’d been apart from them for a number of years, he was creating this wonderful, wonderful pop music. Just simply brilliant. That it was almost impossible to get anybody to listen to. That was always the problem. With Captain, with Humbug, with all of these, it was a very difficult time to get the media to support you. Because at that time there wasn’t really the respect shown to the great British artists.
