This is a proper blast from my indie past. A time when I was packing in the gigs as a sixth former. Formative years indeed. Ride flickered brightly in the early 90s, then faded almost as soon as they had arrived. I saw them at the Digbeth Irish Centre in Birmingham, I think it was 1991. They made some good tracks, with Vapour Trail being one of my favourites. I particularly like the strings with which the song closes...
I loved Ride and have a couple of albums. Leave them all behind is my fave.

I remember their first two 12" singles having roses and daffodils on the covers and being really into the first album. They were great live. Thanks for looking at the blog Michelle. You have become the first person to put a comment on the blog!! If I had a Blue Peter badge it would be in the post. Hope you're doing well. Good luck with number two!! X
ReplyDeleteIm honoured! And you reminded me of a great band. I've even dug out their old vinyl and had a blast from the past!
