Rock group
Ride, who took their cue primarily from My Bloody Valentine, was one of most respected bands in existence during a short-lived, yet vital British music movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Dubbed by journalists as "shoegazing" for the musicians’ habit of staring at the floor while playing live and "the scene that celebrates itself" because bands sometimes attended other like-minded acts’ concerts, these bands musically created sounds at odds with traditional pop, rock, and punk.
Often described as ethereal or otherworldly, the shoe-gazing sound combined a myriad of distorted guitars, swirling keyboards, percussion, and voices—both human and instrumental—that were often indistinguishable from one another, obscuring individual identity. "We try to make the music the personality and keep ourselves quite anonymous," guitarist/vocalist Andy Bell once commented, as quoted by Gavin Stoker in Rock: The Rough Guide.
When grunge (imported from the United States) and Britpop swept across the United Kingdom, however, most of these shoegazing bands fell apart after they were suddenly ignored by the music media and the public. Ride lasted longer than most, staying intact amid critical derision and disinterested fans. The band released its final album, the highly acclaimed Tarantula, in March of 1996.
Ride was formed in Oxford, England, where Andy Bell (vocals and guitar), Mark Gardener (vocals and guitar), and Laurence "Loz" Colbert (drums) were attending Banbury Art College, and Steve Queralt (bass) was working in a local record shop. Bell had dreamed of starting a band since his childhood, citing the Beatles as his early inspiration. "I started playing the guitar when I was nine," he said in a Creation Records website interview, "and I always knew I’d be in a band. I wanted to put records out and play gigs and be a pop star." For Queralt, "destiny" played a role in his introduction to music. "My dad found a bass in a skip so he says and brought it home for me," he told Creation. "I was listening to lots of reggae at the time and was able to follow the basslines. Fate I guess."
Their first rehearsal took place in October of 1988 at Colbert’s mother’s home in Ramsden. During the next few months, the four young men—all sharing a love for the music of the Faces, the Rolling Stones, the Stone Roses, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, the House of Love, and the Jesus and Mary Chain—concentrated on writing songs and improving their instrumental skills.
When the quartet felt confident enough to perform live, they began to build their reputation playing gigs in Oxford; their first was at a pub, which has since been dismantled, called the Jericho Tavern. Ride soon attracted the attention of a local journalist and promoter named Dave Newton, who, after signing on as manager in 1989, helped spread news of the new band to the London media. Loud, intense, and driven by distorted guitars and indecipherable vocals, Ride seemed the perfect counter to the dance music resonating from the city of Manchester at the time.
Creation Records, an innovative independent label, signed Ride that same year. Later in 1989 the band recorded the highly anticipated Ride. Released in January of 1990, the four-track EP, featuring the songs "Drive Blind" and "Chelsea Girl," quickly outsold its initial press and climbed into the bottom of the United Kingdom charts. A few months later, in April, Ride resurfaced with a second EP entitled Play. Another instant success, the record made the top 40 with the standout track "Like a Daydream" and a steady touring schedule. Smile, a compilation of the first two EPs, was also released in 1990.
Ride spent most of the summer preparing for a full-length debut album, the early results of which were heard on yet another EP entitled Fall, released in September of 1990. Radio favorites from this record included "Taste" and "Dreams Burn Down." Finally, in October, Ride released Nowhere, living up to fan and critical anticipation with tracks like "Seagull" and "Vapour Trail." A fourth EP, the more mature Today Forever, followed in March of 1991, providing the group with its first British top-20 record. These early, well-received commercial successes, coupled with the
group’s developing songwriting and instrumental skills, suggested that Ride had staying power.
During the months of March and April, Ride headlined a United States tour with Lush, another shoegazing outfit. Afterwards, they toured Japan, Australia, and France, then returned to the United Kingdom to work on a new album. In February of 1992 Ride released the eight-minute progressive rock single "Leave Them All Behind," a Melody Maker single of the week and the quartet’s only top-ten hit. March saw the release of the group’s second album, Going Blank Again, another mainstream success. Following shows throughout Great Britain, Ride returned to the States, Japan, and Australia. That summer, the group played its second Reading Festival, followed by a fall tour of Europe.
By now, however, the members of Ride were beginning to feel less enthusiastic about the group’s future. "The first tour went very well for us," recalled Bell to Magnet magazine’s Corey Dubrowa. "We were still very happy as a band. The troublesome tour was the next one, spring 1992. Our second album had just come out, and instead of feeling like it was all a new adventure, we were overworked and didn’t really want to be there. Plus, kids and marriages were starting to come into the band’s lives. The music suffered, and I was putting almost nothing into the playing, which I now feel quite guilty about."
Consequently, Ride decided to take an extended break. Their next album, the psychedelic-inspired Carnival of Light, was not released until 1994. Although the effort received favorable reviews, it went largely overlooked by the public, who were now more interested in Britpop bands such as Blue, Suede, and Oasis. Furthermore, tensions among band members were at a peak, especially between songwriters Gardener and Bell. "Imagine an argument where the way you win is by saying, ‘I don’t want my songs on the same side of the album as yours’—and it actually happens," Bell continued in Magnet. "We were allowed by the people around us to behave like total babies."
In the early months of 1995 Gardener moved to New York City, announcing his departure from the band by midyear. Before he left, however, Ride recorded one last album, Tarantula, released in March of 1996, which earned positive press. Some even called it Ride’s finest effort. Ride, nonetheless, had already announced that they planned to disband.
Thereafter Gardener began working with dance music producer Paul Oakenfold and Gary Stonedage, formerly of the group Big Audio Dynamite, though the project never came to fruition. After attempting to launch a solo career, he formed the Animalhouse with Colbert and producer Sam Williams, a former member of the Mystics. They released one album, Ready to Receive in 2000, before splitting a year later. Meanwhile, Bell formed a new group, Hurricane #1, and released two records for Creation. Following that band’s the demise, he played briefly with Gay Dad and joined Oasis, on bass, in November of 1999. Creation released a Ride "best-of" album in 2001 that was subsequently released stateside in 2002 on The First Time Records.

Biography
With their first records, Ride created a unique wall of sound that relied on massive, trembling distortion in the vein of My Bloody Valentine but with a simpler, more direct melodic approach. The shatteringly loud, droning neo-psychedelia the band performed was dubbed shoegazing by the British press because the bandmembers stared at the stage while they performed. Along with their initial influence, My Bloody Valentine, Ride stood apart from the shoegazing pack, primarily because of their keen sense of songcraft and dynamics. For a while, the band was proclaimed the last great hope of British rock, but they fell from the spotlight nearly as quickly as they entered it.Ride were formed in Oxfordshire, England, in 1988 by guitarist/vocalist Andy Bell, vocalist/guitarist Mark Gardener, bassist Stephan Queralt, and drummer Loz Colbert when the group was still in its late teens. The band soon earned a dedicated following through their blisteringly loud, intense live shows. Creation Records signed the band in 1989 and the group released its self-titled debut EP later in the year. Not only did the British music critics praise the Ride EP, but it climbed into the lower reaches of the U.K. charts.
Play, Ride's second EP, appeared in the spring of 1990 and it surpassed the success of its predecessor, entering the Top 40 upon its release. Ride continued to gain new fans and quickly became darlings of the U.K. press. Nowhere, the group's first album, was released at the end of the year and became a significant hit in England, peaking at number 14. The band's third EP, Fall, was released in the summer of 1991 and became a Top 20 hit in the U.K. Ride released their second album, Going Blank Again, in the spring of 1992. Going Blank Again was successful, particularly in the U.K. where its first single, "Leave Them All Behind," went into the Top Ten, but didn't increase their audience dramatically.
That lack of a breakthrough success caused tensions within the band, especially between Bell and Gardener. After completing a frustrating American tour, the band decided to take an extended break. It would be two years before Ride re-emerged with their third album, Carnival of Light.
Carnival of Light represented a major shift toward conventional psychedelic rock and it turned out to be a commercial misstep. Not only did their die-hard following dislike the record, but Ride failed to pick up a new batch of fans with their stylistic makeover. Wounded from a lack of sales and critical respect, the band moved to the studio in the summer of 1995 to record its fourth album, Tarantula. Tensions between Bell and Gardener escalated throughout the recorded sessions. After Tarantula was completed in August 1995, Gardener left the band; Bell followed immediately afterward. Ride announced its disbandment in January of 1996. The album was released in March of 1996. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Ride were a British alternative rock band that formed in 1988 in Oxford, England, consisting of Andy Bell, Mark Gardener, Laurence "Loz" Colbert, and Steve Queralt. The band were initially part of the "shoegazing" scene and often said to be the "pretty boys of shoegaze" or the New Kids On The Block of the scene. Following the break-up of the band in 1996, members moved on to various other projects, most notably Bell who became the bassist for Oasis. In 2001, the band members were briefly reunited for a one-off performance for a television show. Their debut album Nowhere has been named one of the greatest albums of the shoegazing genre, Nowhere was voted number 74 on Pitchfork Media's list of the Top 100 Albums of the 1990s,[1] and closing track "Vapour Trail" was voted at number 145 on Pitchfork's Top 200 Tracks of the 90s.[2] The album is also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

History
1988-1989 Starting out
Mark Gardener and Andy Bell had been to Cheney School in Oxford, appearing in the school's musical theatre productions, and in October 1988, they moved to Banbury to do Foundation Studies in Art and Design at North Oxfordshire College & The Oxfordshire School of Art & Design.[3] There they met Laurence Colbert. Steve Queralt, who also went to Cheney School, was recruited from the local Our Price record shop where he worked as a singles buyer (although Bell and Queralt had already played together in an obscure reggae/pop band called "Big Spiderback").[4] After considering various names, the band settled for 'Ride', with its evocation of travel, and after the Ride cymbal. Bell has cited a performance by The Smiths as the inspiration for forming a band.[3] The band formed in the summer of 1988 and played their first gig as Ride for the College's Christmas Party towards the end of the year. While still at Banbury, the band produced a demo tape, recorded in Queralt's bedroom and hallway, including the tracks "Chelsea Girl" and "Drive Blind". Queralt and his record shop boss and future Ride manager Dave Newton had started a live music night in Oxford called Local Support, and it was due to a cancellation by another band that Ride got their first proper gig at one of these nights.[4] Jim Reid of The Jesus and Mary Chain heard a copy of the demo that was in the possession of the DJ Gary Crowley, and this led to interest from Mary Chain manager Alan McGee.[4] After the band supported The Soup Dragons in 1989, McGee signed them to his Creation Records label.
1989-1993 Early Creation years
Ride released three EPs between January and September 1990, entitled Ride, Play and Fall. All three EPs made it into the UK top 75, with Play and Fall reaching the top 40.[5] Ride's top-75 placing was a first for Creation Records.[6] The first two EPs were released together as Smile in the USA in July 1990 (and later released in the UK in 1992), while the Fall EP was incorporated into the CD version of their first album, Nowhere, released in October 1990. The band were often labelled as part of the "shoegazing" scene, but the band rejected this, Bell stating "my first reaction was like, this is another boring tag. These days...that's pretty much still my reaction".[7] Gardener said of the band's influences "We liked the noisy bands of the time. When we were at art college we went to see My Bloody Valentine, House of Love, Stone Roses and Sonic Youth. I think these all had a lot of influence on us in the early days as they were great gigs".[7]
The band recorded two sessions for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show in 1990, and their popularity with the show's listeners saw them with three tracks in the Festive Fifty that year, with "Dreams Burn Down" and "Like a Daydream" at numbers 3 and 4 respectively, and "Taste" at number 25.[8]
Nowhere was a critical and commercial success, reaching #11 in the UK,[5] and the media dubbed Ride "The brightest hope" for 1991.[citation needed] Demand for new material was high, and the band recorded another EP, Today Forever, released in March 1991. The EP marked a change in direction for the group away from the noisier early style. Ride made their first international tour to Japan, Australia and France later on that year.[6] Tickets for the performances in Japan sold out within minutes.[9]
In February 1992 the band broke into the UK top 10 with "Leave Them All Behind", and the following month saw the release of the band's second album Going Blank Again.[5] The strain within the band was already apparent, Bell stating "By the time the second album came out we were touring too much. We were tired. We then took time off, but it was too much time off".[9]
1994-96 Change in musical direction
Ride were able to see out 1993 riding on the success of Going Blank Again and a third LP was keenly anticipated. A double weekend of gigs with The Charlatans that year ('Daytripper') kept them in the public eye amid wider disinterest with the shoegazing scene. Their third LP, Carnival of Light, was released in June 1994, at a time when Britpop was the focus of the music press. Produced by John Leckie and partly engineered by Nigel Godrich (future Radiohead producer) except "How Does it Feel to Feel" by Black Crowes producer George Drakoulias, and featuring a guest appearance on keyboards from Jon Lord of Deep Purple,[10] the album was split between songwriters Gardener and Bell, with the former's songs on side one and the latter's on side two.[11] Opening with the riff-heavy "Moonlight Medicine", tracks also include "From Time to Time", "Birdman" and a cover of The Creation's "How Does It Feel to Feel", which was released as a single. The album was not well-received by critics, Bell explaining "These were good times but the music took second place. When we recorded the Carnival Of Light album we got indulgent".[9] By the end of 1994 even the band themselves were critical of the album, referring to it within the group as "Carnival Of Shite".[12]
1996 The breakup
1995 saw the dissolution of the band while recording Tarantula. Gardener and Bell had led the band away from their shoegazing roots to become more contemporary, hoping to change their style with the times. Queralt has remarked that the band had two future directions open to them, and they chose the wrong option. Gardener had become interested in dance music, and wanted Ride to incorporate that into their style, while Bell disagreed.[9] The track listing of Carnival of Light gives an indication of the tension that was mounting between the two guitarists, with the first half of the album being songs written by Mark Gardener and the last half of the album being songs written by Andy Bell - Andy Bell had refused to let his songs be interspersed with pieces written by Gardener. Years later Andy Bell explained "Imagine an argument where the way you win, is by saying 'I don't want my songs on the same side of the album as yours' and it ACTUALLY HAPPENS. We were allowed by the people around us to behave like total babies."
By the time Tarantula appeared, the band was beginning to self-destruct. Bell penned most of the songs while Gardener provided only one - the tension within the band leading to an inability to write meaningful musical pieces. Castle on the Hill, written by Bell, was a lament for the band's situation and contains references to Gardener's self imposed exile from the group. Gardener walked out during the album's mixing sessions, and the band announced their break-up shortly before its release in March 1996.[13] The album was released and remained on sale for one week before being withdrawn.[5] Critics and fans alike had panned the album (although the first single off the album, "Black Nite Crash", was awarded "single of the week" by weekly music magazine Melody Maker). The album was described by Allmusic as "an abomination of '70s/Lenny Kravitz clichés, full of third- and fourth-rate tunes and, ultimately, bad blood", going on to say "the words are just plain awful throughout, not even worth printing".[13] Rolling Stone were more complimentary, stating "the album is saved from maudlin self-obsession because it's rawer and rocks harder than anything else Ride have recorded".[14]
Since the break-up, both Bell and Gardener have been more reflective about the group's disintegration, with Bell especially admitting his own part in the process.
1997-2001 Post break-up years
After the split, Andy Bell formed a new band called "Hurricane #1" but this project was permanently dissolved when he was asked to play bass for Oasis after having turned down the opportunity to join Gay Dad.[9] He lived in Stockholm during this period. Mark Gardener and Laurence Colbert joined with Sam Williams to form The Animalhouse.[9] As BMG signings, they were successful in Japan. The band was, however, short lived and split in 2002. Gardener has also toured as a solo artist, while Colbert, Gardener and Bell have played as in Bob Dylan tribute band called The Zimmermen. Queralt appears to have retired from professional music. He spent the years following the break-up working in Oxford, playing 5-a-side football, and raising a family. He is now living in Hammersmith, London.
2001+ Channel Four and beyond
On 16 October 2001, all four members of Ride agreed to be filmed by Channel 4. The footage was used for the show Pioneers, a documentary on Sonic Youth, and featured a twenty minute improvised jam.[7][15] The recording of this song, plus two short sound checks, were released in 2002 as Coming up for Air. The interest in this limited release CD caused the band to consider future releases. In late 2002, Ride released a 3CD box set which is made up of OX4_ The Best of Ride, Firing Blanks (Unreleased tracks) and Live_Reading Festival 1992.[7] In 2003 they released Waves, a collection of tracks from five radio sessions recorded for the BBC.[16]
Mark Gardener is also now pursuing a solo career. From 2003 to 2005, Gardener toured extensively, sometimes with the help of Oxford friends Goldrush, in order to personally fund a full length studio album.[17] During the tour, a three-track EP with Goldrush (Falling Out Into the Night) and a live album (the acoustic solo Live @ the Knitting Factory, New York City) were released. He also spent part of 2005 working with the French duo rinôçérôse. In late 2005, Gardener's album These Beautiful Ghosts was released in North America on United For Opportunity.
Any thoughts of permanently re-forming the band, however, have been explicitly denied by Bell, with the reasoning that it would not live up to expectations.[18] However, the members, Bell included, have stated that they would not mind working with each other again. Since, Bell and Colbert made an appearance at one of Gardener's early shows; Bell later shared two nights of acoustic sets with Gardener in November 2003 when Gardener made a tour stop in Bell's current home of Stockholm.
Colbert has also started playing in a band again - as guitarist and vocalist. He also plays drums in different projects, most notably with the reformed Jesus and Mary Chain, Supergrass (filling in for Danny Goffey), International Jetsetters with fellow Jesus and Mary Chain bandmate Mark Crozer, and Damo Suzuki (Can). In 2005, Gardener was stuck in France and unable to play the Truck Festival; Colbert's band filled the gap in the bill. Colbert studied on the 1 Year Diploma in Drum Performance at London's Drumtech after the split of Ride.
