Ryan Griffiths an Australian guitarist, best known for his time playing lead guitar for the Australian garage rock band The Vines.
Craig Nicholls, who started the band, realised while touring for the promotion of Highly Evolved that the band needed an additional guitarist. So Craig asked his longtime friend and schoolmate Ryan to join the band. Griffiths played on every Vines album from 2004 to 2011 before leaving the band, along with drummer Hamish Rosser, in December 2011.
[edit] Solo work
Ryan has written a few songs (circa. 2007) and he believes he would be able to release a solo album some time soon. The songs that he has written are influenced by his favourite bands, The Dandy Warhols, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
