Stef Ketteringham has recorded an exclusive live session that will appear exclusively in Episode #112 of the Crow Versus Crow Radio Show. These tracks won't be available as a posthumous Bandcamp download as they're likely to appear on an LP later in the year.

I've been fascinating with Stef's guitar playing and songwriting abilities since back in the early days of Crow Versus Crow, back in the Shield 'Em-era Shield Your Eyes days, so it's an absolute pleasure to work with Stef again and to be able to feature these recordings.

For those unfamiliar with Stef's work here's a recently recorded live video that set's the semi-improvised acoustic guitar/kick drum-tone for the Session recordings.

Episode #112 will be up online on Sunday 9th April 2017.

Copies of Stef's recent 'Guitar Arrangements' LP can be streamed/purchased via the Romac Puncture Repair Bandcamp.

Untitled #1 and #2 are previously un-broadcast and are exclusive to the digital download of the Live Session.
