Another collaboration, Roy Walker, is named after Roy and his nocturnal roams around Glasgow. Along with his Belle And Sebastian connections Roy is a former member of Meth O.D. a band he formed with Golden Dawn frontman Rob Smith, and NME-lauded instrumental outfit The Wow Kafe.ROYSTER ON VINYLRoy's debut single Maximum Smile (Felicite, 2003), was co-produced by Stevie and also featured Belfast Bob Kildea on bass. Stevie & Bob also feature on Fermez La Bouche, Roy's summer 2005 maxi-single for Pickled Egg.In addition to Roy's 7" singles, Second City Firsts, a collection of home demos entirely played & sung by Roy was released on the Heliotone label in Spring 2005.Roy's debut album Speak When I'm Spoken To, released on Book Club Records, features remastered versions of standout tracks from Roy's acclaimed vinyl-only singles: the title track, First You Fall In Love, Maximum Smile & David Niven, plus seven new pop gems. Roy's work has been described by Glasgow's premier indie disco The Winchester Club as "Shameless genius songwriting...60s influenced, killer melodies, proper choruses and hooks to make you wet yourself. Twice".THE COMPANY Check out Join The Dots by The Company Presents Roy Moller on Slumberland. This 7" split single (The Hermit Crabs are on the other side) is, the first commercial offering from a songwriting, production and performing collaboration between Roy, Stevie Jackson & Gary Thom.
