Better Than The Book - Side Character In My Own Life (Instrumentals) is a bonus album to celebrate an amazing month since the release of "Side Character In My Own Life" and everything BTTB's 3rd full-length album has achieved so far! If you’ve yet to hear the original non-instrumental album, grab it on Bandcamp or on CD and Vinyl on elasticStage:

https://betterthanthebook.bandcamp.com/album/side-character-in-my-own-life

https://elasticstage.com/betterthanthebookuk/releases/side-character-in-my-own-life-album

With all three pre-release singles featured on the radio worldwide from the UK to Australia including numerous shows on BBC Introducing, The Ska Time Show, The Warp Factor, Tonic Ska Radio and Beefy’s Ska Club (the #1 ska music show in the world which also featured the bonus track “Hearts Racing Backwards”), web blog and zine features, and 15 Front Page Feature Awards on Newgrounds.com, it’s fair to say that the Side Character In My Own Life album has made quite the splash in its first month of release!

A monumental thanks to everyone who helped make all this happen with a huge shout out to Beefy, Melita, Kirk, Mr P, Nick, and Phinky for their continued support and great vibes, the BTTB LIVE band's Eamon, Sam and Andy for their boundless enthusiasm to take these tunes to the stage, and of course to my supporters on Patreon who keep my music going each month with special mention to the current and past $10+ patrons: Michael White and Nathan Puray! Thank you all so much for your help and support in making these dreams a reality!

Side Character In My Own Life (Instrumentals), much like I did for Two Years On and Hopes and Dreams, is a complete off-vocal version of the album for you to sing along to, make silly mash-ups, or simply listen to when you want some BTTB but without any vocals! I hope you enjoy this bonus album while I get the Better Than The Book live show prepared for the stage, and I'm already back in the studio for a little more Better Than The Book coming soon as well! Thank you all so much again and see you for some more BTTB soon!
