The Ride

About Me

The Ride: Three friends, hanging out one night a week at a seedy little studio in Byron Bay, Australia. Having a few beers, "taking the piss out of everything and anything", playing their own self-induldgent form of music, releasing from everyday life and just generally enjoying each others company.Creating something special, which brings together the wide range of influences and experiences they've gained along the way. Energectic, melodic rock / punk / metal / grunge / indie / alternative / whatever??? blending several genres into a sound with a distinct flavour of it's own.Together three or so years, for the past two they've played shows up and down the east coast, had a song released on a surf dvd ('Saturated Thought', along with Parkway Drive and John Buttler...) and 'rocked out' on the mainstage at SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS 2007. On the bill with bands like: Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, The Hoodoo Gurus, Powderfinger, Grinspoon, Spiderbait, The Shins, Lily Allen, Kaiser Chiefs, Airbourne,... etc..... make
