Williams about Ride On: “I heard fragments of this song in a dream after a particularly heavy night. In the dream it was the theme for the opening sequence of an old western movie starring Ice-Cube. I woke up humming this melody, and the phrase ‘He was out there in the city eating western takeaways’ going round my head. I got out of bed and wrote the rest of the track in a few minutes.”

TUTV: Expect a raw and rough ride triggered by manic drum thwacks, a storm of guitar riffs, and Williams shooting his agitated vocals from the hip, adding an extra injection of sonic fuel.

Always fast-forward. No brakes, no breaks. Punked-up, revved-up, kicked-up and burning with reckless vitality. Put on your boots, get up on your horse and follow the wild Williams western wind, folks.

North Carolina rock squad THE NUDE PARTY who
like to dress smart are back in town to kick ass.

Their new, 3d, LP baptized RIDES ON arrives on 10 March.

Ahead of it comes first single RIDE ON.

Patton Magee: “It started very literally with a teary-eyed old man telling me about a bull
rider he met down in Mexico named Alfredo,” says frontman Patton Magee. “I took note of the conversation because it felt powerful somehow. Shaun in the band had written this great arrangement of chords and when the two came together, the story just kinda poured out. You always hear people say things like, ‘oh, the Rolling Stones should just hang it up… they’re way over the hill.’ I feel bad for people who think that way. I’m saying exactly the opposite. If you’re alive, then live. No brakes. Ride on.

Ride On rolls, rattles and rumbles, grooves and moves as if The Velvet Underground went
spicy country rock. It’s a jangly earworm that augments your adrenalin production.

Have a ride here.
