Ride - Charm Assault (Official video)

The official video for Ride's first new material for twenty years, conceived by Anton Newcombe & Jean de Oliveira.

Directed by Jean de Oliveira
Concept by Anton Newcombe & Jean de Oliveira
Produced by Jean et Marie Films

"Charm Assault" is taken from Ride's forthcoming album, Weather Diaries, due to be released on the 16th June 2017 by 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. And love, admiration and adoration.

Ride is one of my absolute favorite bands of all time. My jaw hit the floor when I first found out that they're releasing their 5th Studio Album "Weather Diaries" on June 16th, 2017 - over 21 years after their 4th Studio Album "Tarantula". Ride is criminally underrated and massively underappreciated. They have one of the most consistently stunning and impressive Discographies in the history of Rock 'N' Roll. Even all of their Rarities and B-Sides are masterpieces.

再結成してこれ程までにクオリティの高い曲を作れるとは...
ライブだけで終わるのかなと思ってたけど、かなり嬉しいです！

Not joking ever since I heard this song it’s been stuck in my head just all the time. Great track, love Ride

[hackalacka]

Perfect summer "get-high" music with friends =) I love every second of it!

[garrywilliams]

Playing to their strengths. Good to have them back.

[DJBFAD]

[wearekasule]

[nickineal]

Amazing, lyrical band and the confluence of their rhythm and beat is fantastic!!

[RonnieLanefan]

Great song! Love the swirling distortion in the middle-section which reminds me of the mid-section in "Gone are the Days" by Towns

[NadaCero]

My Bloody Valentine already released their comeback album, now we just need Slowdive and Ride to release their new albums, and the Shoegaze trifecta will be complete... once again :)

[lexbeats]

if modern rock is going to evolve into similar music, then i see a bright future ahead! such a refreshing sound

[danangprionggo]

Just watched it live in Bandung, still amazed with their sounds..

[violatress]

Very good single, the new material sounds amazing live too! Ride always has been my favourite 'shoegaze' band. Great to see the lads touring and recording quality material. Brought a tear to my eye, I have to say :)
So much better than the woeful Roses 'comeback'.

[Iberotimuka]

I love this, it so reminds me of the opening track on Bossanova

[arnoldlayne]

Absolutely bloody brilliant. Welcome back lads.

[boywonders]

So happy for the new music! Can't wait for the album.
