After building themselves an underground fan base in the five years since they came together, Sydney based three-piece The Ride Ons are now releasing their debut LP through Reign Records.
This new 15 track album – Delinquents With Hot Rods – is classic rock & roll with touches of country & blues, all infused with the indomitable Ride Ons style.
Support slots with the likes of The Von Bondies and The Sleepy Jackson, as well as an Eastern state tour alongside The Screaming Jets, hints at the eclectic nature of the band’s style and set list, which draws diverse inspiration from AC/DC, Gram Parsons & the Beasts of Bourbon.
This album is sure to showcase an extraordinary level of musical talent due, no doubt, to the exceptional performance history of the individuals involved. Collectively members have performed in The Clouds, Plutonium Biscuits, The Sleepy Jackson, The Screaming Tribesmen, The Monarchs, The Hitmen and Radio Birdman.
Formed in Sydney, Australia in January 2004, The Ride Ons are:
Murray Shepard: Drums/Vox.
Ben Nightingale: Guitar/Vox.
Matty Stokes: Vocals/Guitar.
