Fractures
Ride

Distiller

WE SAY

This great debut from Fractures sees them mix the best parts of early British Sea Power with the songwriting talent of Tribes whilst retaining their own strong identity. It was last night's 'Next Hype' on Zane Lowe, and has featured on the Xfm evening playlist; not a bad start for the rather brilliant Ride. The young four-piece were listed as part of NME's fabled 'Ones to Watch' for this year, after spending January/February at No.1 on Amazing Radio with a demo of this very track. Support continues with an NME Radar piece at the end of May and an Xfm live session recorded. Ride is Xfm's 'Hot One' this week after picking up buzz from shows at The Great Escape and a support slot with Gaz Coombes at Barfly. Video.

London gig: May 30, Aces & Eights NW5 (single launch)
