Ride

Oysterband

High-octane folk rock where the fiddle carries the fire of a punk guitar. A restless, rhythmic record that bridges traditional storytelling with 1980s urban grit.

Moments Worth Listening For
The driving, percussive fiddle line that transforms New York Girls from a sea shanty into a rock anthem.
The unexpected vulnerability in the acoustic-led bridge of Polish Plain before the full band crashes back in.
The way the bassline on Love Vigilantes mirrors the original New Order synth-pop hook with a woody, organic thud.
