Scott Von Ryper - one half of the Black Ryder - stopped by for a chat with Max Easton as a part of Soulshine’s feature on the Sydney newcomers, touching on anything from recording to record deals and Tom Waits. With their debut album seeing light in November, there’s plenty going on in the Black Ryder camp.

Soulshine interviewed the Black Ryder recently to chat about their extremely sharp rise to fame predating the release of debut album 'Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride.'

"...by no means was I an engineer before this, I only kinda fooled around with it. So it was something we were doing on the sly…I definitely put a lot of pressure on my shoulders by doing that. It’s rewarding now, but it was really stressful the whole time…thinking ‘maybe we should get someone else who really knows what they’re doing’…I reckon I did that every month for the entire recording…it was only the last couple of months where it was too late to hand it to anyone that I shook that feeling." - Scott Van Ryper, The Black Ryder
