Wichita Recordings

Ride is an English rock band that was formed in Oxford in 1988. Known for their unique wall of sound, the band created a mesmerizing blend of massive distortion and direct melodies. Their music, often described as shoegazing due to the bandmembers' focus on their pedals while performing, drew inspiration from influential bands like My Bloody Valentine. However, Ride stood out with their exceptional songcraft and dynamic approach. Initially hailed as the last great hope of British rock, they quickly rose to fame but eventually faded from the spotlight.

Back In Stock

Ride release their first album in over twenty years, Weather Diaries via Wichita Recordings. Produced by legendary DJ, producer and remixer Erol Alkan, Weather Diaries is packed with all the classic elements that made Ride one of the defining bands of the early ‘90s. Trembling distortion, beautiful harmonies, pounding rhythms, shimmering soundscapes and great songwriting all combine to make an album that’s ambitious in scope, timeless and thoroughly addictive. The album is released through Wichita Recordings and sees the band reunited with label co-founders Mark Bowen and Dick Green, who worked with Ride during the band’s early years on Creation Records. It also brings the band back together with mixer Alan Moulder (Arctic Monkeys, Smashing Pumpkins, The Killers) who mixed their seminal 1990 album Nowhere and produced it’s follow up Going Blank Again. The revitalised four piece - comprising of Andy Bell, Mark Gardener, Laurence Colbert, and Steve Queralt - reformed and returned to the live scene in 2014, selling out headline tours around the world to a plethora of critical acclaim, as well as show stopping turns at festivals including Coachella, Primavera and Field Day. More than that though, the British music sphere especially has been littered with bands heavily indebted to Ride and their peers. The likes of The Horrors, School Of Seven Bells and labels such as Sonic Cathedral have ensured that shoegaze is a sound that's eternally relevant.
