From the Debut Album "The Thin Thread" By Victorian Dad

Thin Thread

The Jobs are worthless and the company’s are dirt
Walking down my old street its starting to hurt
Recessions hitting hard and I lost my car
Got debts up to my eyes you don’t seem so surprised

It’s a thin thread im balancing on
A thin thread I’m hanging on
A thin thread I’ts turning you off

They say well life has its ways of making us pay
The wheel still turns in plunders of hate,
I got no more time for you at my door
Your bickering says we don’t need to rake any more

Thin thread I’m balancing on
Thin thread I’m hanging on
Thin thread is it turning you off?

I’ve been sleeping on floors and taking scores
The thin line of reality pours its not a walk in the park its seriously dark
I’m falling form my thin, thin thread

Thin thread I’m hanging on
A thin thread on balancing on
A thin thread I’m falling from

Well my body is twitching I’m heading into the storm
Recessions hitting everybody stone hard
From the top to the bottom we fly
The thin, thin thread is your third eye
Your third eye,
It’s your third eye

Thin Thread
Thin Thread

I can usually spot who a band is influenced by . I can’t spot it with Victorian Dad.  You seem to cross a lot of genres and styles” Mike Joyce- interviewing the band for his  (New York)East Village Radio show.

I’d love to give you an idea of how they sound, compare them to another act even, but it’s just not that simple (Rock,Paper,Leeds Music Review)

What do you really want/need to know when you read one of these? Songs- Has he got the songs? Yes, he has. He has written for many years. These songs have been well and truly "road tested". There is the longing and sense of loss of "Across the River". You should perhaps note that you will end up singing/humming this song for days. There is the broad filmic expanse of "Mexico". Isn't it good when one song can transport you to a place you might never have been to? There is the ethereal quality of "Breathe". This song was debuted at a gig on October 27th 2012, Many of the audience remarked on how stunning they thought it was. (And that's just 3 of his many songs) Musicianship- He has been playing gigs for many years. Has been fronting the very wonderful Victorian dad since 2007, also does many solo gigs. His style comes from a wide range of influences (musically and geographically). He plays electric and acoustic guitar, harmonica, Piano. He plays with passion and intensity, and believes that if a musician isn't committed then they should give up. Influences- On any given night you can hear grunge, gypsy music, folk, rock, progressive, punk etc. Nothing is ever ruled out in the service of music that is designed to reach people . So, Who does David Rybka sound like ? Easy question, because he sounds like David Rybka. He has been praised by such respected musicians as Pete Jobson (i am kloot) Guy Garvey (Elbow) David signed a CD for him once...Mark Chadwick of (The Levellers) Tom Robinson (BBC6) ,Mike Joyce (Smiths), Phil Beer (show of hands), Ashley Hutchings  (Fairport Convention)And Blair Dunlop  to name a few,
Has he done a lot of gigs ?- Yes , too many to count . He has played all over England , and Headlined at the iconic Band on the Wall Club, Played in many festivals in The Uk and Abroad,  He has also done gigs at those places you have to do when you are on your way up ( but would rather forget)  . In Mexico he played at a high security prison, and for the UK Ambassador to Mexico, toured through the Jungles of Palenque and around the shanty towns of Mexico . He has also gigged extensively in Spain around the villages aof calciete and Valderrobres and beyond..  David Rybka- Songs for your soul and spirit. 

David Rybka is the performer personified. An astute songwriter, he tells a vivid tale and delivers each number as if the pain or joy is as real as the day it was written. You’ll experience heartfelt sadness, unbelievable highs and everything in between, but in an unpredictable order. David is incredible to watch and continually justifies the extremely high regard in which he is held.
