Kyle & Dave (Exclusive Ryan & Dave demo)

Before it was Ryan, there was Kyle

KYLE AND DAVE?

Three years ago, on September 23, 2019, we released Ryan & Dave. It’s one of our most popular songs to date and even had a viral TikTok trend going around last year.

What only the most hardcore of RA fans know, is that the song was originally titled “Kyle & Dave”.

REAL PEOPLE, REAL STORIES

A question we are often asked is if the songs we write are true stories. The simple answer is that some are true, some are based on true stories (like our upcoming album: Searching for Strawberries), and some are entirely made up.

Sadly, Ryan & Dave happens to be one of the stories that is true.

The song was originally titled “Kyle & Dave” after the actual names of the two people involved. However, since the song is so personal, we decided on the name change from Kyle to Ryan, adding anonymity to those involved.

THE KYLE & DAVE DEMO

Only a handful of RA fans can boast of hearing us perform Kyle & Dave live. We did an unofficial tour throughout the UK back in 2019 where it was performed.

But since you are all loyal Fan Club subscribers, we’re giving you a chance to hear the original demo as it once was.

It’s cool to listen to the demo right after listening to the one we released. You can hear how a song changes from the demo to final product.

For reference, here’s the original version:
