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 with the hope of opening eyes and healing some of the divisions that are so apparent in today's world. The message is that we're all in this game of life together, and we can all reach out and help each other along.

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

The T4 Project: Concept Album

THE T4 PROJECT concept album was inspired by the ethos of both old-school and new-school punk rock. It features musicians from Bad Religion, Buzzcocks, Circle Jerks, Glass and Ashes, Morrissey, Naked Aggression, Nina Hagen, Pennywise, Porno for Pyros, Strung Out, and the Subhumans. The recording sessions took place at various locations in California, as well as the legendary Southern Studios in the UK.

Music written and produced by Shannon Saint Ryan.

24-page booklet illustrated by Keith Rosson.

T4 recordings: 1995-2000

T4 RECORDINGS was a small garage studio in Southern California where Shannon recorded punk rock bands during the mid to late 90s. The studio thrived on word-of-mouth, attracting bands from across the country and internationally. Bands completed entire albums, including mixing, in just two 10-hour sessions. Listening through the various tracks provides a unique sonic snapshot of that era in punk rock, highlighting the raw energy and steady improvement in audio quality as T4 upgraded its equipment from 4-track to 8-track, and eventually to 16-track ADAT machines.
