Ride released their debut album Nowhere 30 years ago this October. Reviews upon its release were merely favourable. Although they were – and to some extent still are – often overlooked in discussions of the 90s shoegaze scene, to the favour of bands like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine, Ride were making excellent music. The splendour of their work still stands, reflected in their enduring impression on music.
Ride are a four piece from Oxford, consisting of vocalists and guitarists Mark Gardener, Andy Bell, bassist Steve Queralt and drummer Loz Colbert, formed in 1988. Nowhere was released on the quintessentially 90s Creation Records with Ride becoming the label’s poster boys for the two years that My Bloody Valentine were away in the studio recording their debut album. Ride scored Creation Records’ first Top 75 and Top 40 hits with tracks from their first and second EPs.
