Ryan H Wugalter is a songwriter from Chilliwack, British Columbia. He has been writing and performing original material in bands (jump+dash, teapot hill) and as a solo artist since the mid-2000s. Over the past couple of years, Wugalter has embraced his DIY ethic and immersed himself in home recording – producing and releasing a number of albums and EPs through Bandcamp. After releasing last year’s Ryan Goes PPunk, a squealing, screeching, chaotic blast of lo-fi indie punk – Wugalter quickly delivered on the promise of that record with the nine track song cycle, WEIRDBEARD. This album is a testament to Wugalter’s growth as an artist. Its blend of raw emotion, storytelling and sonic adventuring makes it a compelling listen for those seeking music that challenges conventions.
