Ride - Charm Assault (OFFICIAL AUDIO)

The first new material from Ride in twenty years!

"Charm Assault" is taken from Ride's forthcoming album, due to be released Summer 2017 on Wichita Recordings. The album was produced by Erol Alkan and mixed by the band's longtime collaborator, Alan Moulder.

Andy Bell says “Charm Assault is a pretty straightforward expression of frustration and disgust at the people who currently run our country. The tour in 2015 was a good way of reminding us what we were good at in the first place and Charm Assault feels like a natural continuation from our peak. When we started writing together again we tried to imagine we'd kept on making music all this time, and this was just the latest one.”

Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Ride and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.

I gotta say...all hail Ride. Man...this has almost every style they went through in one track. I am so pumped for the album.

I met these dudes at Waterloo Records in Austin. Super nice guys, and they are still doing in 30+ years on. Incredible.

[REDSCOUSERFC]

Brilliant!!! Saw them live in London around 90-91 can't remember. My ears were still buzzing two days later.

When I hear a new Ride song. I think how good any of these songs will do while driving or going to the beach!

[KInoue-itkg]

It is pure RIDE!! Amazing what chemistry of a band can do.

"Rushes around trying to find long lost long sleeved ride tee" Great comeback tune, would love a resurgence of "the scene that celebrates itself" as someone once coined it.

[Benjaminstraughair]

Absolutely outstanding, classic tonality with a fresh kaleidoscopic twist. DELICIOUS! This year gets better by the day....

[aring-ading-ding]

Pleasant surprise to see this on YouTube.! So excited for both Ride and Slowdive releasing albums this year! This song sounds great and has me looking forward to listening to a whole album by them, yayyyy

[oliverhernandez]

My new favorite tune that just bumped Slowdive's Star Roving from my daily repeat listening! Can't wait for the new album!

[cameroncarper]

the guitar is sick need more songs that sound like this, this is music.

[morrison]

Going to see Ride in Manchester in July. Will be the 1st time since 1992.
So glad they reformed, what a great band....!!!

I followed this band back in the days when they started and only found out over the last few months that they had been touring again (albeit for a while) and I got to say, it's damn great to have RIDE back. Top band. Love you guys
