Ryder Thomas

Ryder Thomas is an American Electronic and punk artist from Spruce Pine, North Carolina.https://genius.com/artists/Ryder-thomas
== History ==
Ryder Divides his music up into different "Eras"
=== Era 0: Mashup era ===
Ryder thomas started making mashups in late 2022. The songs used in the mashups aren't synced together to any tempo or key, making it quite the intresting listen. All the songs in this era were made in his video edtior (Premiere pro) instead of real audio editing software
=== Era 1: "Annoyance pop" ===
Ryder started using LMMS and its built in presets and instruments. He later got synth1 and mini v3 (which came with his first midi keyboard) and made "Closed casket for my dignity". After that album he started to get inspired by Dance-punk artists like LCD soundsystem and The faint which lead to the sound on "Damn Daniel" It was also his first grandlaugh release with all the songs having shitpost humor. 
=== Era 2: ??? ===
He has yet to give a name to this era but its gonna be more raw, expirmental, and punk sounding than anything before it, We have had tastes of it with "Merry medicore chirstmas", "We Lost Burger King and Hardee's​!​!​!", and "The EP (of Random Stuff) That Comes Before My Next Stuff Which Might Be Better and​​​/​​​or Better Represent My Current Music Skills" but we have yet to get a full album with this new style he has developed. Although bits and pieces of have been posted in the RecRecs Discord server.
