Free Ride is a band from Zagreb, Croatia. It was formed in 2007. Every member of the band plays an instrument since elementary school so it was natural that they should all wind up in bands. The "no name" band at the time (Chicha, Ante and Marko) joined to jam and started to cover famous Heavy Metal songs. Free Ride was born. The bassist's brother Ivan soon joined as a second guitarist. Drived by Chicha's and Ivan's ferocious riffs, Ante's thunderous drumming and Marko's ferocious bass lines the band plowed through heavy metal anthems and decided to get serious. After a few weeks of searching for a singer, the band stumbled upon Pavao by sheer accident. A versatile musician and talented singer filled the spot perfectly. Months after the band had build up a decent repertoire of cover songs. The chemistry was there, but original songs were missing. After making three songs the drummer of the band brought outside help. Ante brought in Marin, an older experienced metalhead to help the band grow. He contributed with his musical and textual know-how and contributed to the band's overall sound. Since then the band kicked into 2nd gear, had about a dozen shows and made 20 songs over the course of 8 months. Marin profiled himself as an "invisible member" of the band, but after a year in the band joined as a full-time member as the keyboardist. Serious rehearsing schedule paid off. In mid 2009 the band entered the studio to record their debut studio album.Feel free to contact us: [email protected] Ride-Spill With Gas @ Boogaloo
