Ride (band)

Ride is a 1980s and 90s British shoegazing band, formed by Laurence Colbert (Drums), Mark Gardener (Guitar), Steve Queralt (Bass) and Andy Bell (Guitar) in 1988. The band formed in 1988 in Oxford, England, and officially broke up in 1996. During that time they received much critical acclaim, though this never translated into the chart and financial success that they aimed for, and for a short while it seemed that the band could prove themselves as defying the fate that befell lesser shoegazer bands. Since then, the band members have gone on to other projects, most notably Andy Bell who became the bass player for Oasis. Since 2001 the band has been semi-active and has released a number of compilation and live recordings, as well as a limited pressing EP with new material.
