You can now buy tracks from Ally’s two albums at http://allykerr.bandcamp.com/
Steve Jobs doesn’t take a big cut too, so it’s far more artist friendly. The files can be in any format you like, for example mp3 or lossless (CD quality) and all are tagged neatly so no need to manually input any track info etc into your iTunes…. Of course all Ally’s music can be found at iTunes, most paid download sites etc too.

Ally will be joined by the excellent trio of Ryan, Mike and Andy on stage in London this Tuesday 12th January.
Ally will be heading out to parts of Asia at the end of August / early September. Full details of the shows confirmed so far are here and more will be added soon.
The album is currently being promoted in parts of Europe by Hemifran and is picking up good radio play and press.
You can now find Ally on Twitter and on the first official Facebook page . This was in response to two different (static) Facebook pages created for Ally but over which he had no control.
Finally, anyone who signs up to the mailing list on the homepage will receive a FREE mp3 from Off The Radar.
There’s a review of Off The Radar in Spain’s premier music magazine - Rock Delux. Here’s the translation and also the review too.
“If you give out this record as a declaration of love, whoever receives it will know that you’re the one for them. And if they’re not, when they listen to “Old Friend” a couple of years later they’ll figure out that that day they committed a mistake. It’s a song to liven up an old friend; armed over a melody that embraces you. Very romantic and hummable, it’ll stick to your head for a long time. But it’s not the only one. The second record from this Scot makes you jump and smile just like Belle and Sebastian does and touch you just like Kings Of Convenience does. His determination to sound sweet and smooth is such that it doesn’t stop either on “The Toothbrush Song” (where two toothbrushes, one in use, the other in disuse, remind him that he’s alone) nor “Is It too Late To Work For NASA?” (where he begs for an outer space job so he can live in a more emotionally breatheable environment. “Off The Radar” is the type of song that makes David Gedge keep on buying singles and “I Think I’m Bleeding” is another one that’ll eternally follow that person you know with his luminous way of singing to depression. Kerr knows how to come down with the umpteenth pop song and make it seem the first one. He’s Scottish.”
