Ryan Bailey
Album:
Joining Lines and Letters
The opening track from my album Joining Lines and Letters. Listen to the whole thing at Soundcloud.
“
Ryan Bailey proves himself as someone to really look out for - songs like ‘A Working Title’, ‘Blue Roses’ and ‘Meet Again’ are sublime stabs of genuine promise. The pretty melodies and understated simplicity have the same pleasant appeal of bands like Athlete, Turin Brakes or Travis.”
“Nothing short of a remarkable debut for Ryan Bailey. His musical and lyrical competence, along with his huge diversity indicates a bright future … right down to the artwork, ‘Joining Lines and Letters’ is as professional as you could want from a young artist.

The Lonely Cartel EP
A track I recorded with my band The Lonely Cartel. I’m on guitars and backing vocals. Head to Soundcloud to hear the rest of the EP.
“Luxuriously mellow, this is big, proud indie pop with showboating hooks and a fat rocking outro. Elbow with muscles meets The Verve with beats. With tunes like this [If I Had A Hi-Fi] could soon be the biggest musical sensation to come out of Southampton since Craig David put on his best jumper and opened his gob.”

Demo
A demo from my old band IfIHadAHiFi. I’m on vocals and guitars. It sounds pretty good for something we made on an old laptop in a bedroom.
Listen to the rest of the Demo EP on Soundcloud.
“Ryan Bailey’s charming tenor fits snugly within a comforting cocoon of catchy guitar riffs and a head-nodding rhythm section. What is this, the radio? These are the kinds of melodies that make children smile.”
