ONE DAY 6 track EP out now

Our first studio recording

Play MP3 samples from our new Studio EP below. Our aim was to achieve as near to our Live sound as possible - so we recorded the CD while all playing at the same time. With minimal 'overdubs' we managed 6 tracks in 7 takes in one day. We hopefully have kept the energy and feeling of a live performance.

All tracks © The Universe Inspectors 2009. Recorded & Mixed by Ross Chapple, Adam Smith & Oscar Kusmidrowicz. Executive Producer Lee Thommen. Cover design, print & duplication by Maniac films ltd

Universe Inspectors play special gig for Nick Austins 50th birthday

Happy 50th Birthday Nick! As part of the birthday celebrations, the Uni's (including Nick) played a special set at Croyde Village Hall. Ralph couldn't attend as he was surfing in Madeira so Giles from The Liquidators stepped in on bass. The gig was filmed by Mark from Maniac Films and the footage will appear on the Universe Inspectors Rockumentary DVD. Coming soon !

Pete Bruntnell and Marcus interviewed for Rockumentary

Local musician, songwriter and producer Pete Bruntnell has spent some time in front of the cameras for the Universe Inspectors documentary. We also filmed a very personal interview with Marcus from the band discussing Ralph's accident. These interviews will appear on the Universe Inspectors Rockumentary DVD. Coming soon !

More interviews for the Rockumentary

We have been out filming more interviews for the film with a range of local people who frequented early Uni's gigs. Interviewees included Roy Newton and Malcolm deswert (Dessy). We also filmed a live gig at Croyde Village Hall.
The first section of the film is now finished and the rest is moving along nicely. We have a couple more interviews to film, as well as a very special gig which will be announced soon.
These interviews are some of the last parts to be filmed for the Universe Inspectors Rockumentary DVD. Coming soon !

Follow up Interviews with Ralph Freeman for Unis Rockumentary

We have been interviewing Ralph Freeman about his recovery from the traumatic broken neck he suffered whilst surfing low tide Croyde last year. A freak accident which left Ralph initially completely paralysed. Ralph spoke about how his big wave training helped him cope during the critical moments when he also nearly drowned.

"As Ralph got closer to recovery, he was prepared to talk about the ordeal" said Mark Brindle from maniac films. "we didn't want to intrude really but Ralph thought it would help him get over the experience and get him back into the water" The interview is one of the last parts to be filmed for the Universe Inspectors Rockumentary DVD. Coming soon !

More Interviews for Universe Inspectors DVD - Hector and Amy

We have been filming more background interviews for the Universe Inspectors rockumentary DVD. We caught up with Hector Christie at Tapely manor to discuss the early years when the Unis used to practice and gig at his farm, and with the delightful miss Amy Newton who has played with the boys and has quite a bit of history with the Croyde Reggae four-some.
Weve also been down to Sidmouth the birthplace and old tramping ground of the Universe Inspectors, to get some scenic shots - lovely weather and some nice boats!

More Interviews for Universe Inspectors DVD - Al and Ken + Giles!

We have been filming yet more interviews for the Universe Inspectors rockumentary DVD. We caught up with Al Kendal from Small Town Mentality at his house to discuss the Live CD production, and with Ken Kerslake, also from STM who played drums for a summer with the boys when Marcus broke his collar bone. We recorded an 'Ode to the Inspectors' with Ken and Al giving us a rendition of a favourite Unis track 'Babylon' for the forthcoming DVD.

We also caught up with the Unis 5th member - Giles Isaac - and talked about active mixing and the acoustic properties of the Croyde village hall. Giles, bassist for The Liquidators has been doing the PAs for the Universe Inspectors for many many years and is an integral part of the bands live performance. Giles spills all the gossip on the Unis (well sort of!) for teh rockumentary DVD. Coming soon-(ish!).
