When people call music like this Shoe Gaze it triggers me as someone who's been into underground music for decades. Shoe Gaze might be the most cringe fake sub genre name next to Grunge and Emo. I mean, every time you label a band as shoe gaze, emo, or grunge you take a big shit on the musicians who worked hard to make good music by making it cringe.
I love this! I first heard it last night on Sirius XMU and they mostly play new indie music so when I saw Ride I was shocked because this sounds like the early 90’s sound you had. Bringing that old school sound today, this is badass 🤘🔥
Saw then when they toured Going Blank Again (still have the tee I bought at the gig) and in all my life I haven’t even come close to vomiting from the music hitting my chest. It was at Melbourne uni (?) but anyway the venture was not very acoustic friendly and the further back you went the louder the music got. The most quiet part was right in front of the stage. Arguable louder than MBV
Saw Ride in Bristol just before Nowhere came out, hadn't heard Polar Bear and when they played it I was mesmerised! A shimmering wall of sound and harmonies. Ride were just unbelievable live
What a great cracking tune!! Maybe my favourite one from INTERPLAY and quite hard to choose from so many excellent ones... please let me say that this one would have been so perfect for Hurricane #1 too 🙂🤔😜🧐😝🔝❤️
When the drumming really makes the track. Love everything about this song, but the drummer is godlike. Quite literally perfect. Ah I miss the days of my youth, watching this band in a pub in Windsor, with a couple of hundred spellbound souls. Why isn't there this level of creativity around anymore....
