Bio
RIDER are a five piece alternative rock band from the Midlands, UK.
The band was formed late in 2006 by brothers Aaron, Jay and Rich Lang and fellow
friends/musicians Simon Lee and Steve Taylor. The bands sound reflects the varied and individual influences of the 5 members whilst retaining an originality that excites audiences and has seen them gain critical acclaim on the local scene. The Foo Fighters, Porcupine Tree, Jamiroquai, Biffy Clyro, Muse and Maximo Park among others, have all had an influence on the music that Rider are making.
In April 2007 Rider recorded their first self titled 4 track EP and worked hard playing gigs across the UK. They immediately received positive feedback on the live shows, particularly praising them for polished performances, a big live sound and a high standard of musicianship.
Encouraged by the response to the first EP and with an ever growing fan-base, Rider returned to the studio to record new material. In November 2007 they released their second EP ‘Afterthought’, a powerful and emotive collection of tracks which really encapsulated the bands’ sound and direction.
In December 2007 over a series of 5 shows Rider became winners of the ‘Touch FM across the Midlands’ Battle of the Bands, scoring maximum points from the judges and public radio vote in all heats, quarters and semi finals.
Rider are currently writing and recording new material which will be followed by another series of live gigs and promotion.
More information is available on their official website: www.riderband.co.uk
"Rider played second impressing the judges with some excellent musicianship and catchy tunes"
"Each had only a tiny amount of time to stamp their name on the evening and it was polished act of Rider that really shone through"
"Rider's second set was received with equal zeal as the squealing synths and startling guitar solos came to a climax”
