Razormouth CD Launch
March 2, 2019 10:00 pmLocal band Razormouth is due to launch an EP this Saturday night, March 2 at Skippers in Kirkwall from 10pm.
Cutting Teeth will be the first recorded effort by the band, comprising Ryan Silver (bass and vocals), Nicky Booth (rhythm guitar), Jarvis Walls (lead guitar) and Ryan Taylor (drums), and they are keen to be able to share their hard work.
Singer and bassist Ryan Silver said: “Myself, Nicky and Jarvis used to write songs and jam in the attic of my old house a few years ago. After a few noise complaints, we moved to Wisebuys to practice, where we could play as loud as we wanted — and that’s when the songs really came together.
“Scott McCormick offered to help record an EP for us, so we chose the four strongest original songs and recorded it in Scott’s house.
“It took a few months and there were a few setbacks, but we’re really pleased with how it turned out, and we can’t wait to share it with our loyal supporters.”
