(1994)"Dry Riser" is a song by Kerbdog and a single released in 1994, taken from their self titled debut album. The single was released on four different formats, two CDs, and two 7" vinyls. CD1 was released as a limited edition Digipak and one of the 7" singles was released as a limited edition, pressed on clear vinyl as opposed to the usual black. The single climbed to number sixty on the UK Singles Chart.
Many of the B-sides over the four discs are covers. "New Day Rising" is a cover of the song by Hüsker Dü from their album of the same name, "Suspect Device" is a cover of the song by Stiff Little Fingers, their debut single from 1978, and "Something In My Head" is a cover of the song by a band called The Jerusalem Taxis, a local band on the Irish scene that Kerbdog's singer Cormac Battle is a fan of.
The two B-sides on CD1, "Xenophobia" and "Self Inflicted", are Kerbdog originals and were recorded at the same recording session which produced the tracks on Kerbdog's self-titled debut album.
