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.

When R.I.P. came crawling out of the sewers of Portland, Oregon, last year, their grimy, sleazy street doom was already a fully formed monstrosity, quickly infecting the minds of everyone it encountered. Now, borne from the band’s declining mental health and an increased focus on songwriting, Street Reaper is even more unhinged and menacing than their debut In The Wind. Borrowing equally from ’80s Rick Rubin productions and Murder Dog magazine aesthetics, this latest album is a streamlined yet brutally raw manifesto of heavy metal ferocity hearkening to the era when both metal and hip hop were reviled as the work of street thugs intent on destroying America’s youth. Throughout, Angel Martinez’s guitar and John Mullett’s bass are inextricably interlocked like a massive sonic steamroller, while drummer Willie D keeps the beat solid and simple for the most powerful impact. Plus, the band’s extensive touring and excessive virgin sacrifices have provided singer Fuzz evermore agile vocal chords to drive it all home with extreme precision. Operating on the belief that doom is not tied to a tuning or a time signature, but rather a raw and terrified feeling, R.I.P. eschews well-trodden fantasy and mysticism tropes of the genre and focuses on conveying the horror and chaos inherent in the everyday reality of the human mind.
