Riding Easy Records

Riding Easy Records is a boutique record label based in Hermosa Beach, California. Since its founding in 2013 by *founder's name*, the label has been dedicated to releasing limited vinyl runs of heavy psych, doom, metal, and rock music. Originally known as Easy Rider Records, the label had to change its name to RidingEasy in May of 2014 due to a cease and desist from the parent company of Easyriders Magazine. With their passion for unique and powerful music, Riding Easy Records continues to bring exceptional talent to the forefront of the music industry.

At Riding Easy Records, we pride ourselves on curating a diverse roster of talented artists who push boundaries and create captivating sounds. Our limited vinyl releases allow fans and collectors alike to own a piece of musical history while supporting emerging musicians.

With our roots firmly planted in the vibrant music scene of Hermosa Beach, California, we have become known for our commitment to quality and authenticity. Each release from Riding Easy Records is carefully crafted with attention to detail, ensuring that every album is not only musically compelling but also visually stunning.

After bursting to the American heavy rock forefront with their 2014 debut album, 'Sateen', Cincinnati four-piece Electric Citizen are ready for a 'Higher Time'. Their second album for Riding Easy, it is a breakout moment for the band as a whole and for vocalist Laura Dolan, who stands tall in the spotlight throughout 'Evil,' 'Misery Keeper' and the rest of 'Higher Time', rising to the occasion of a fuller, bigger sound and meeting the memorable riffing of husband / guitarist Ross Dolan head on with already-stuck-in-your-head hooks and a fiery, passionate delivery. Like its predecessor, 'Higher Time' was recorded at The Diamonds studio in Cincinnati by Brian Olive (The Greenhornes, Dan Auerbach, Dr. John, etc.), and in search of an even more expansive feel, Laura, Ross and Brian traveled to mix the album alongside Black Keys engineer Collin Dupuis at Easy Eye in Nashville, TN. The results speak for themselves. In Laura's performance and in the multi-faceted approach of Ross alongside bassist Randy Proctor and drummer Nate Wagner, Electric Citizen branch out with stage-born assurance across a collection of definitive rock 'n' roll. It is a bold, complete sound that sacrifices nothing of the band's on-stage energy and clearly demonstrates that while their progression has been quick, it's been hard won the traditional way: They worked their collective ass off.
