PAST PROJECTS

JSR-SSR-No Time (front cover) final (3k x3k).png

SAINT RYAN & SON is a collaboration between Shannon Saint Ryan and his father, John Saint Ryan. Their debut song 'No Time to Negotiate' was written in the hope it would open eyes and heal some of the division that is so apparent these days in so many areas. We're all in this game of life together. We can all reach out and help each other along.

Music written by Shannon Saint Ryan (BMI). Lyrics by John Saint Ryan (BMI).

At Cost Records 2022.

THE T4 PROJECT concept album was inspired by the many bands and common bonds of both old-school and new-school punk rock. The album was performed by members of Bad Religion, Buzzcocks, Circle Jerks, Morrissey, Naked Aggression, Nina Hagen, Pennywise, Porno for Pyros, Strung Out, and the Subhumans. Recording took place at several locations (both domestic and international) including Southern Studios in the UK.

T4 RECORDINGS was a small garage studio located in Southern California where Shannon tracked punk rock bands throughout the mid to late 90's. The studio existed by word-of-mouth with bands cranking-out entire albums (including mixing) in the space of two 10-hour blocks. Listening through the various tracks offers a unique sonic perspective of not only that particular time-period in punk rock, but also the raw yet steady progression in audio quality as the T4 studio began to incorporate higher-grade microphones and equipment (moving up from 4-track, to 8-track, then later combining two 8-track ADAT machines).
