Ride

With their first records, Ride created a unique Wall of Sound that relied on massive, trembling distortion in the vein of My Bloody Valentine but with a simpler, more direct melodic approach. The shatteringly loud, droning neo-psychedelia the band performed was dubbed shoegazing by the British press because the bandmembers stared at the stage while they performed. Along with their initial influence, My Bloody Valentine, Ride stood apart from the shoegazing pack, primarily because of their keen sense of songcraft and dynamics. For a while, Ride were proclaimed the last great hope of British rock, but they fell from the spotlight nearly as quickly as they entered it.

Ride reissue their first four EP's 'Ride, 'Play', 'Fall', and 'Today Forever' for 30th anniversary of their debut ‘Nowhere’. "Shoegaze legends Ride have announced the details of the reissues of their early classic albums via Wichita Recordings. These will be released on the 4th November and will include the first four EPs, plus their seminal 1990 debut ‘Nowhere’, and feted 1992 album ‘Going Blank Again’ from their days on Creation Records.

Limited 30th Anniversary release by the British shoegaze band. This collection contains the first four EPs by the band: Ride, Play, Fall, and Today Forever. The first three EPs were released in 1990 before the group issued their debut album and Today Forever was released in 1991.
