Details:
The Mangledwurzels are a three-piece Scrumpy & Western band based in Somerset in the West Country of England. Their music is a celebration of the works of the Bard Of Avonmouth, Adge Cutler and The Wurzels. More than just a Wurzels tribute band, The Mangledwurzels play Wurzels songs, old and new, blended with self-penned titles and pop standards 'Mangled' in true Wurzels tradition.

The Mangledwurzels are a three-piece consisting of Hedge Cutter on lead vocals and percussion, Jethro Tool on electronikal wurzelhorns and vocals, and Seth Pitt on guitars, bass drum and vocals. Formed in 2005, The Mangledwurzels are all experienced musicians who have graced a wide variety of stages and venues throughout the country. The Mangledwurzels effortlessly convey their innate sense of fun and humour to their audiences both through the song lyrics and their performance. Based in the West Country, with the majority of the band born and bred in Somerset, The Mangledwurzels produce a genuine West Country Scrumpy & Western sound.

Wurz 'Ee II is the band's second full album release, and their first studio album. It was recorded at Handsome Llama studios in Frome, Somerset (England) between July 2008 and May 2009, and engineered and produced by Will Angeloro. Wurz 'Ee II is a collection of 15 songs, mostly the band's own compositions, which they hope will stand up as a Scrumpy & Western album in its own right. It is a wholly studio-based album with much more instrumentation than you would hear at a Mangledwurzel gig. Seth is caught playing bass guitar and Variaxe as well as his normal electro-acoustic guitar, while Jethro has dug up some different sounds from his new Korg synthesisers. The band has also incorporated the drumming and percussion of Dozy Trowel which adds a new dimension to the band's sound.
