16	!! Discography
17	* ''Erratic Cinematic'' (2017)
18	* ''The Bonny'' (2020)
19	----
20	!! Where we're going these tropes don't matter:
21	* DrugsAreBad: In "Sometimes", he sings about how he used to do cocaine when he was younger and how it made him go on a "false ego trip" and beat people up, now viewing it as a "[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] waster".
22	* FaceOnTheCover: The cover of "Erratic Cinematic" is a monochrome picture of his face putting a finger on his chin.
23	* LyricalDissonance: "Sometimes" is quite upbeat for a song about Gerry singing about his cocaine addiction when he was younger.
24	* ImmediateSelfContradiction: In "Sometimes".
25	-->''Sometimes, just sometimes\
26	Well alright, maybe all of the time''
27	* MusicIsPolitics: He encourages smaller artists to believe in themselves and isn't fond of music industry marketing and excessive hyping artists.
28	* ProtestSong: "War TV" is one against [[WarIsHell War]], complete with recorded quotes from David Cameron and mentioning Animal Farm.
29	* SelfDeprecation: He claims he isn't the type of person to be lecturing on life in "Sometimes".
30	* ShoutOut:
31	** The TitleTrack of ''Erratic Cinematic'' mentions quotes from various films, such as Film/{{Scarface}}, Film/TheWizardOfOz and Film/FightClub.
32	** Literature/AnimalFarm is mentioned in "War TV".
33	* SirSwearsALot: His songs tend to be quite foul-mouthed, notably "Where We're Going".

35	-->''You know it could be a canter\
36	If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker\
