Ride
Hello you. Make a cup of tea, put a record on. Welcome to The A to Z of Britpop, your introduction to the bands, music, and characters that defined the most exciting genre of the 1990s. In this article, we introduce Ride, a band that bridged the shoegaze and Britpop movements with their dreamy, noise-laden soundscapes and anthemic melodies. While they are often considered pioneers of shoegaze, their influence rippled through the Britpop era, connecting the introspective haze of the early '90s with the Britpop boom.
