"this is the first song on my new album"

aka corruption canary gravy

"the ride home made me scream, the ride home made me dance."

"billie, was ya abducted? where ya been?"

"it was a tall man, a suitcoat, seemed harmless enough. he enforced the singing and the dancing. he didn't see the man with the paint."

As a musician I have no money, which consequently makes it easy to write a song about not having any money. I took that concept and likened it to being without the one you need the most. This is still in the scratch stage and I would very much like to hear your thoughts on what you do and don't like. Cheers, matt

From "Futuristic Soundscapes" CD May 2008

Here it is, ELECTRO SHOCK, the inaugural song for Tyson & The Friction’s “Single of the Month Club!” You can file this song under Headphone Rock. It’s a bit folk, a bit electro punk, and a lot of sugary pop, so brush your teeth after this one. It’s not the normal Tyson Rock that you might be used to, but give it a chance!
