English rock band formed in Oxford in 1988. 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 songwriting approach. The
shatteringly loud, droning neo-psychedelia the band performed was dubbed
"shoegazing" by the British press because the band members stared at
their many guitar effects pedals while they performed. After the 1992
album "Going Blank Again", the band shed their shoegazing tendencies and
released 1994's "Carnival Of Light", an album deeply indebted to bands
of the 1960s and 70s. Following a lukewarm critical and fan reception
towards that album, they released one more album in a similar
retro/classic rock vein, "Tarantula", in 1996, immediately breaking up
over inter-band tensions regarding direction and ongoing
songwriting/leadership squabbles. Twenty years later, they reformed
amicably and have since released three more well-regarded full length
albums that have largely been considered a return to form.
Ride Fall EP released on Creation Records in 1990. The EP was housed in a cardboard sleeve and was a UK import. - Blogatrix
