Biography
Ride are an English shoegaze band formed in Oxford in 1988 by Andy Bell, Mark Gardener, Steve Queralt and Laurence Colbert. Their debut album 'Nowhere' (1990) and 'Going Blank Again' (1992) are regarded as classics of the genre. After the Britpop-leaning 'Carnival of Light' (1994) and the fractious 'Tarantula' (1996), the band split, reuniting in 2014 and resuming recording with 'Weather Diaries' (2017), 'This Is Not a Safe Place' (2019) and 'Interplay' (2024).
