The Rellies - Isabella is Annoying (Ltd 7")
Debut 7” single by young Australian garage band!
CHECK OUT THE FANTASTIC YOUTUBE VIDEO FOR 'ISABELLA...' HERE - https://youtu.be/OISFKYaiHZI
The Rellies are brothers and songwriters Ryan (13yo) guitar and vocals and Riley (11yo) Bass and Vocals as well as Jarlath (11) on drums and Aiden (12) on guitar. All met in Sydney’s infamous suburb of Kings Cross. What were these young ones doing in such an area? Learning music of course – ha ha. The band has been playing together for around three years. Songwriters Ryan and Riley like to argue a lot at rehearsal but actually love nothing more than to grab their vintage guitars and play songs by their favourite band, The Beatles. Aiden & Jarlath seem happy to do whatever. The Rellies play a mix of indie, garage-punk and rock. Their greatest achievement is becoming part of the Damaged Goods family and playing live at Sydney venues like The Oxford Arts Factory and El Rocco where they brought the house down with their garage-punk versions of 'Helter Skelter' and a very fast 'Old Town Road' (Lil Nas X’s) as well as originals including 'Isabella is Annoying' and 'Brainwaves'.
Some word from brothers Ryan & Riley about their track 'Isabella is Annoying'...
Brothers Riley and Ryan sit down at home with a guitar thinking about lyrics, and tunes that will go with those lyrics. Once finished, on Saturday they bring the newly written song to the band where it is practiced. The band then converses about how good the song is and where it should go on the set list. This song is about Isabella, says Riley ‘A new girl came to our school. Eventually she starts bullying me and then I get her back in the form of a song.' The Beatles are our main influence to our song writing.

The William Loveday Intention
a short interview with William Ivy Loveday
by Carl Lampenschwarz
There is some confusion over the different names you record under. For the listener can you explain why there are so many different changes in group names, dosnt that just confuse the buying public?
Yes, and that's a good thing. To be alive, relevant and a true artist I believe you’ve have to remain a moving target. When ever there is a significant change in personal, or the type of music we are playing, we change the group name. for instance CTMF is a very similar line up to The Chatham Singers, but we change the group name when we play ‘sit down blues’. The Musicians of the British Empire, where very much a version of The Buff Medways, but with a different bass player. The Mighty Caesars where The Milkshakes, but minus the other guitarist and singer. You could say it's out of respect for the groups for what they truly are.
Where does the name Billy Childish orginate?
That was a nickname given me during the punk rock days. My friend Button Nose Steve named me Billy Childish because I would pretend to be mentally retarded in public. Before that I was called Gus Claudius.
Why Gus Claudius?
When I was little my mother called me Gustov. The Claudius was added because I was a fan of Robert Graves.
Isn’t your family name Hamper?
Yes, but only after my mother married my father when i was aged five. My birth certificate is William Ivy Loveday. Loveday being my maternal Grandmother's maiden name. It was her (Ivy Loveday) who registered my birth.
How many other names do you go by?
I’m known by different names to different people. It depends on what hat i am wearing. It can get quite concussing, for instance as a painter im known as Billy Childish, but I have never painted under that name.
What name do you paint under?
None. I don’t sign the paintings with a name at all.
And now your group is called The William Loveday Intention.
Yes, I thought I would use my ‘real’ name as these songs are close to who I am. Plus the group has a very different direction, (and intention).
