A cover of Wreckless Eric's 1978 Pop-Punk track, 'There Isn't Anything Else'

I like Eric's version so much it had to be done. Mockney vocals et al. A bit faster than the original with less words.

There Isn't Anything Else

Dark Figurine

Mirror Like Animal

From the forthcoming 2016 album, 'Money Cuddled'

The Old Ascot Cap

Featuring Mykel Allegroe, This is the opening track to the new Ryanisfun EP entitled "A Life In Fractions". The rest of the EP is due out this month, then Ryan will begin work for a his new orchestra which is set to record the a thrilling album very soon.

In A Room

Ode to Jane was a track recorded as a lament to a dead cat that ended up in the freezer for preservation before its rightful owner came to bury it in the park. Recorded Lo-Fi in the kitchen with one microphone around Oct, 2007!

Ode To Jane

This is a (slightly skewed) cover of Patrick Wolf's 'A Boy Like Me'. The verses aren't as full as his and it generally rides more on the theme of 'Two dogs, two cats.' Recorded at the Wallsend studio space, September, 2006.

A Boy Like Me

An old RIF classic! Lots of fun recording this one, I think Dan Peace was at this session, fun with a shortwave radio at the beginning, and taking time over the harmonies after the chorus; quasi-lennon vibes. 

Bad Reception

One of the better executed vocal cut-up tracks. Lots of fun! The American voices at the start of the track was ripped from a live CB radio stream online and somewhere you can hear the main arrivals tower from JKF airport. Geeky! Fun times in Wallsend again, eating pie and chips, smoking dumper rollies and caning the Stella.

Up/Down

This one's self explanatory. Daft charva voice throughout, not as a dig so much more like I was into using the voice in conversation generally at the time. When Ryanisfun were playing back then, this one probably caused the most stir, it got a review in some mags and was played on a welsh radio station. Balmy to say the least. More cut up vocals, sampler-esque.

Game Over

This one was Metro Radio's track of the week ages ago and got played in full on the air. This one came about writing closely rhyming lyrics on the scum shuttle to and from Wallsend and Shields. The only thing this song lacks is a better production. I met The Futureheads guitarist Ross Millard outside monument in Toon and gave him a copy because I slag him off in the chorus (not too bad!). This one never really worked live for some reason but was good fun at the time.

Jobseeker

This rack incorporates some cut-up William S Burroughs speech ripped from CD years ago. This was originally meant to be a different song entirely and there was at one point this instrumental with an actual sung vocal over the top, but it's lost in the ether. Recorded and edited sometime around 2007 in Wallsend.

How (AKA Mooks)

This was recorded a day or two after Scream For Daddy and was distortion'ed up to the max. The chorus is verging on epic but was never played live. Recorded up in Wallsend. Sector Nine Clearance was a line I nicked from some shit Sci-Fi on telly through the day. 

Sector 9 Clearance

Space & Time sounded class when it came back through the big monitors in Wallsend. I think Dan was there in the session and were were drinking more beer and dusting tunes. Recorded quite quick! Complete with melodica and roto-toms I imagine it was recorded the same time as Ejector Seat. Someone said it sounded like music you'd hear at the Fish Quay Festival. Not sure if that's a compliment.

Space & Time

A Life In Fractions

This was a song recorded in November 2010, the lyrics are by from a book called 'Three Men on a Metro'. Epic!

Scent of Detail

A nice little ditty, for all to dance along to.
