I saw Rides Again in Toronto @ the docks in February and I was freakin’ blown away. Their live show was INSANE! Usually bands that have great recordings let me down with their live performance. Not this band though… I am absolutely, positively going to be @ their Opera House show on April 1st!
Definitely a fan…

I was lucky enough to see Rides Again perform live, and bought bought their album right after the show. They have an incredible sound, and are a promising band. Lovin the tracks, hope to hear many more soon. But of the 8 or 9 i have heard, i havent discovered anything i havent loved. They guys in the band are also great. We hung out and talked after their show, they’re good guys and they know their stuff. I wish them the best.

Rides Again has been my favourite band for quite a long time… i met them about 2 years ago, and since the very first show i have been a huggge fan.
They have the most incredible energy of any band that i have ever seen, as well as the most talent. i have seen them play more times than i can count, and there has never been a single show where i didn’t leave raving about how incredibly amazing it was. They are a band that always makes an effort to talk to every fan there. They always make everyone feel like not only are they welcome and appreciated, they make everyone feel like friends, even the people they’ve never met before.
This is not just a band. This is the future of music i say. A revolution if you will. Their message is a positive and encouraging one that promotes awareness of important issues. Combine the uplifting messages with the extremely skilled music, and you simply cannot go wrong.
They want this so much, and they deserve it. They want it, and they want it for all the right reasons.
Its rare to find a band that is so talented and skilled, and still cares so much about their fans.
Any record label who lets these guys slip is making an enormous mistake. They have dedication like no other. They have talent like no other. They have love for their fans like no other. They are going places, big places, and ive known it from the first time that i saw them hit the stage.

I love this band! They rock hard and their live show proves it.
Their songs are extremely catchy. They toured in Sask about a year ago and people are still talking about them and singing their songs.
Comment by Michelle — March 23, 2006 @ 6:16 pm
This band is amazing, I first saw them on the national high school tour they did last year and just had to see them again. and not only is their music insane but the guys themselves are really cool, relaxed and upstanding citizens with a great sense of humour and style.
Comment by Carrie — March 23, 2006 @ 6:19 pm
I have known of Rides Again since about 2003 and LOVED every song they have produced since and am looking forward to see what the future holds for them.
Since I do live in the states I was always hoping they would do a US tour of some sort so I could see them live, but I ended up going to their hometown to catch a show in which I truly thought they are the best band I have ever seen live.
All in all this band have an enourmous amount of potential and their sound is truly unique.
Comment by Emberly Winton — March 23, 2006 @ 6:30 pm
Rides Again. Truly an amazing band. Their lyrics have helped me through some touh times in my life, and when i met them, they where so humble and extremely nice. I’ve seen these guys live 3 times (twice at school & one at a concert) and each time they have put on such a energtic performance. Definatly a band to look out for.
Comment by kym — March 23, 2006 @ 6:30 pm
Rides Again combines so many unique elements into their music that makes their band original as well as incredible. With their inspirational and thought-provoking lyrics, their energetic and wild stage performances, and the fact that they are just amazing down-to-earth people, these guys are truly going to go somewhere. They are not afraid to just be themselves and put forth all of their heart and experiences in their music. There is so much passion and determination that is felt in their presence and I would definitely recommend this band to anyone.
Comment by Angela — March 23, 2006 @ 6:55 pm
Rides Again is an incredible band kickin’ back to the roots of what rock and roll is all about. They are true musicians, performers, entertainers and genuine guys. There is an aura to them that just makes you wonder what makes these guys tick, they pour themselves into their music and it is extremely evident in their live performance. Even if you can’t stand the style of music they play cause you’re a hard hip-hop head or country fan , you will be on the edge of your seat for the entire show. I have never seen any other band combine musical talent, showmanship, respect for their fans, solid work ethic, vocal expertise, lyrical depth and pure entertainment value. All in all, this 3 piece band will give any 5, 7, or 9 piece band a run for their money!

Comment by stef — March 23, 2006 @ 7:26 pm
Rides Again are the highlight or Oshawa hands down. They are down to earth guys with awesome music. Both cds are absolutetly amazing!! They should be mainstream in my opinion because they’ve got the looks, the talent etc. That and they’re live show is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Rides Again = the best indi band ever. Check them out http://www.ridesagainmusic.com http://www.myspace.com/ridesagain
Comment by Keena — March 23, 2006 @ 7:41 pm
Rides Again’s passion and dedication to their work shows highly throughout their live shows and professional recordings. Detailed time is put into each and every song, thus filling every track with strong musical depth and understanding. Listeners can easily connect with the music and read into the powerful lyrics, and can also check out their extremely tight live shows for a solid entertainment experience. I have known Rides Again for a while and I know they are dedicating their emtire lives to see their music spread and be heard by people across the world. I highly recommend them!
Comment by Dan — March 23, 2006 @ 7:55 pm
This band is absolutely AMAZING! I’ve been to so many of their shows and they continue to get better and better. From Chad’s Bass toss, to Nathan’s sexy guitar solo’s, to Mike’s pulsating beats, this band can not be stopped! I put their CD on repeat and never once have I got tired of their songs. Their lyrics are catchy and inspiring.
Nothing beats their live shows! Every show, they do something new. They make sure to get the audience involved every opportunity they get! And, not only are they “easy to look at”, they’re great guys too!
Check these guys out! You’ll be glad you did!

Rides Again Rawks! I went to High school with the one, and I’ve always loved their music. They have a unique sound and they’ve always had so much passion towards making new and improved music. They have the talent to make it, they are deffinitely comparable to many bands out there… They have the energy at shows, the look, the attitude, and most of all, a tremendous amount of talent, and I can’t wait until they make it huge! [sorry, don't usually do these kinda things, but they're Great!
] Check them out!
Comment by Carleigh — March 23, 2006 @ 8:02 pm
Wow, I knew these guys would go far, not there yet, but well on their way.
The first time I heard these guys was in their basement. I got chills with how in tune they are, not just music wise, but, how they work together. And the songs are amazing too lol
None of their songs are put together half-assed, each one is unique, none of the songs sound the same (which is huge). They already have a pretty big fan base stretching from B.C. to N.S. And I have yet to attend a concert where they don’t fire up the crowd.
Nathan, Chad, Mike, It’s refeshing to see that you guys are stickin to it, most bands don’t see alot of success right away, so they quit. You guys are the poster child of endurance, perserverance, and quality.
Amazing music, amazing people, amazing future. I’m proud to call you guys my friends. Even though you are my friends, if you sucked, I wouldn’t be writing this.
Whoever signs you, knows what they are doing.
Keep it real.

I love Rides Again!!! They’re awesome. Ever since I saw them perform like a year ago, I have been a religous Rides Again Fan. Great pick.
Comment by Morgan Bowser — March 24, 2006 @ 5:21 am
These guys were awsome when they came to our school and they really knew how to get the crowd going
Comment by kyle — March 24, 2006 @ 5:56 am
This group is one of the hottest bands in the market. I have known them before they were even a band. They have matured into one of the best performing bands in the market and I would be glad for them to influnce my children. No other band on the market is as straight and clean as them. No drugs , No booze just great HARD ROCK Music.
Comment by Dave — March 24, 2006 @ 9:56 am

Rides Again. What can i say about them that hasnt already been said. They play amazing music, have amazing looks and have awesome personalities! All of their songs are meaningful and you can tell that they put their all into each and everyone. At the shows that I have been to the boys have been energetic and friendly. Nothing has stopped them so far and i dont think anything ever will. Chad, Mike and Nathan are going to make it big one day, on day soon; and i wish them the best.
To anyone who has NOT heard them play; you’re missing out on a great band and an awesome sound. If you do want to check them out go to http://www.myspace.com/ridesagain or http://www.purevolume.com/ridesagain and check out their newest songs!
I love them lots and hope you do too. Good luck and keep up the amazing work boys.

Rides Again is the most talented band I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Their music is outstanding, solid and refreshing, and these guys are dedicated to getting the best and hottest sound out there on the market for our hearing pleasure. Their lyrics are intense and dynamic, and their vocals are alluring and refined. Look out, this band has definitely raised the bar.
Comment by Diane Ciarallo — March 24, 2006 @ 7:03 pm
Lets say I have known these boys for quite sometime. There music has heart,you can sit and listen to every message that they put out and it is possitive. When it comes to live peerformances, WOW, get ready to be blown away. With only 3 members in the band it is powerful, the enrgy that they have just goes thru the crowds that they play for. One other thing, they are very passionate and dedicated to their music. They are wonderful people and are willing to sit down and talk to you and their humble about it. Keep up the good work Nathan, Chad & Mike, I may be almost 50 now but do enjoy a good bad when I here one.

I think you should really check these guys ouut!
I first saw them at my school…they performed in our gym…
And a lot of people that don’t really listen to their catagory of music were quite amazed at how wel they could perform…
I seriously think you should give em a chance!
Comment by e.g. — March 24, 2006 @ 9:06 pm
Throughout my years in the industry, I’ve come across thousands of bands trying to make it. I’ve seen A LOT of simply horrible bands and some decent bands that have potential to be more than they are. None of the bands I have seen have the quality to be huge. UNTIL I seen Rides Again. The first time I seen them live, I was blown away. Their live performance is so incredibly tight… you’d think they were already signed and touring across the world. But that shall be soon… without a doubt. Rides Again’s stage presence is out of control. Their energy is just amazing… aaaaaamazing. Moving on to the vocals… every single time I see them, the harmonies are right on. The lead singer’s voice alone will give you chills. So basically, Rides Again is a band you must see live. Their EP entitled ‘Searching Tonight For Answers’ is brilliant as well. This EP is the most addicting CD I’ve ever owned… even more addicting then Radiohead’s Kid A… and man, I was addicted to that. It’s edgey, heavy, melodic and just what the commercial demographic needs. The public is getting so sick of what’s out there right now… and I honestly believe Rides Again is what comes next. I’ve never had so much faith in a band my entire life. Rides Again is the hardest working and the most talented individuals I’ve ever met… and I’ve met a lot of bands so that definitely shows that they are going to take over the world. They even design their own merch, CD layouts, websites… etc. They have the look, the drive, and the incredibly large amount of talent to make it huge. So as someone that works within the music industry… I am telling you now… check out Rides Again. You will not regret it.

Well now it is awsome to see some new people taking notice of this amazing band. These guys are really nice, can play really awsome and i like how they help other people out with there music. I saw them when they toured to diffent schools around Canada, with people who were helping teens in many ways. There music amazed us all, over half the school bought their cd that day along with a shirt or something. So hey all of you out there reading this if you have not listened to this band yet, you do not know what you are missing, find their cd and listen to it you will understand where I am coming from.

Comment by Donna — March 25, 2006 @ 12:19 pm
Rides Again is an amazing band. They cover the area’s of being popular, underground, loud, quiet, happy, sad, uplifting and whatever other emotion there is, they can cover it.
RA is a down to earth group of guys, who arn’t our there to be famous, they seem to be out trying to get a message across, and they are all about the music. They are completely real, and not a fake set of wana be’s.
Rides is one of the most amazing small town bands i have ever listended to, and that is a huge compliment comming from me. I don’t listen to anyother oshawa/small town band except for them.
Make them famous, they deserve it more then anyone else out there does. and they’re willing to give to society.
LYSS!

You can tell they are really passionate about what they are doing. Nathan has a freaking awesome voice and so does Chad. Mikes drumming skills are pretty sweet too. They are one of my favourite bands. I love their new songs. The lyrics are so powerful and you can really relate to them. Altogehter they are an amazingly awesome band.
Comment by Jaclyn — March 25, 2006 @ 6:49 pm

There’s never a dull moment when Rides Again are around. Incredible!
Comment by Dan — March 25, 2006 @ 8:41 pm
These guys are the best and that’s no lie! I toured with them across Canada they are such great guys, they are also very professional and talented. In every school we went to the kids went crazy for them, I really truly believe that they are the next big thing. Their new CD is the best, if you haven’t heard any of the songs from it yet you’d better listen because you have never heard anything like it before. Be warned that you may feel the need to get up and dance!!! Love and peace; Chelsea

Comment by Evan — March 25, 2006 @ 9:27 pm
If these guys do not change the face of music, i will change my name and move away. Rides Again deserves to have the chance to change the world because they have the talent and energy to do it! They have the freshest sound that i have heard in a long time. If any of the major labels know talent, they will invest in this band because they are going places. THIS IS A BAND TO WATCH!!
Comment by Melody — March 25, 2006 @ 11:35 pm
These guys are great. I have their first, pop-punk CD, and even that’s worth listening to. Their new stuff is amazing!

These guys rock. When they came to London to play at my high school, they put on one hell of a show! I bought their new demo CD and it rocks. Keep up the good work guys!
Comment by Gareth — March 27, 2006 @ 5:38 pm
Rides Again is definately the Next Big Thing. They’re a bunch of great guys, their live shows are awesome and you just can’t get enough of their music. Each song is different and unique as well as each CD they’ve put out.
It would be a shame for the rest of the world to miss out on the excellence which is Rides Again.
Comment by Heather — March 27, 2006 @ 6:07 pm
Rides again has to be the best and tightest band i have ever heard, they are extreamly talanted that’s for sure, rides again is going to be seen all over the world some day.
i look forward to seeing what rides again has in store for us in the future.
Comment by karl — March 31, 2006 @ 2:23 pm
I saw Rides Again in Surrey. They came to Frank Hurt and they were honestly REALLY amazing. Their wordz touched me and had reached to out to me and squeezed my heart for all it wuz worth. During the discussion of a story from one of them, tearz were rolling down my cheekz becuz it related to me so closely… I will never forget their energy and passion that they put in to their music and I really hope that they return here so I can see how much better they’ve become and also hear more storiez. Itz comforting to know that I am not alone, having had certain family problemz and lossez myself. I send the best of luck to you to keep on going. Send your message out and reach everyone. I hope the angelz in Heaven are guiding you in your Journey. I hope they send you back here, so I can hear your touching wordz once again.

Really, what can you say about a trio of boys who are so passionate about their music. They inspire others to strive for the musical talent that these boys have. Not only do they write and play their own music, they produce music for other talented artists.
If only we lived in a more perfect world where music was popular based on quality, cause these boys are overloaded with their talented quality of music.
Go see them live for yourselves… if they can play six 30 minute sets in one day and still be rocking out at 10 pm, then its well worth the trip.

they r good but how is ever1 saying these guys r the best band and all that dont get me rond they came to my schoool kool guys but for sure not even close to the best or anything and im not trying to put them down but ya have u seen the other bands out there people.. ????????????????????

What can I say about Rides Again other than that they are bloody amazing! Rides Again rock my world, and they have such amazing talent. They rule any stage they set foot on, and have quite the sound. I love them to death. They are always willing to say hi to a fan, give an autograph and take a picture, and they have time for everyone. They are truely fabulous people. Their sound rocks my socks off, and they never seem to have a bad show, which is awesome! I love Rides Again!

Comment by tracey strilec! — May 26, 2006 @ 10:53 am
These guys are by far the best english band i have ever listened to, normally i listen to music in other languages, but this band gives me hope for the English bands. In my experience most Rock band Singers don’t have good singing voices, i was shocked to hear that these guys did have good voices. I first heard them at my High School, i then went home and Downloaded as much music of theirs as i could, they don’t have much, and i’ve told all my friends about them. I hope to go see them Live at Reds where there are no interuptions, it was a thing about drugs and such, so they only played three songs…Very disapointed that i didn’t hear more of their music. I agree, these guys are goin far, and if i go to their live show i am deffinately grabbin a CD.

Hey chumps haha, I saw Rides Again a couple months ago when they played at my school for that SmartRisk jazz, and i thought they were amazing and so i also went to see them later that night at a different show, and they were even better, I also got the pleasure to talk to the guys and they were totally normal and down to earth selling their own merch and everything, I think they are going to make a definit name for themselves everywhere and I would love to see them again at West Ed.

I seen Rides Again at our school for the first time and I thought that they were really good. Their music has touched my heart in so many ways. Their music has influenced me so much that today makes me a better person inside and the dreams do come true! The reason why i love the band is because they have so much talent and there music is positive!

Rides Again played at my school about a month back, and I was instantly entranced from the start. I borrowed money to buy thier CD on the spot, and they where all I listened to for a week. The next weekend I went to thier concert in Penticton, and had an awesome time.
Thier music is so meaningful, and thats something unique for modern music. Its got more thought in it that most can realise, and unless you really listen to what Nathan is singing you’ll miss alot of the meaning.
Thier older music is amazing, and I love the romantic rock style that they had in many of thier earlier songs (my personal favorite being After the Rain).
I’m a fairly new fan, as far as the band goes, but I’m as loyal as they come!

I only saw Rides Again when they played at my school about a month ago. From the very start, I loved thier music. I borrowed money to buy thier CD on the spot, and it was all I listened to for the rest of the week until I saw them live again in Penticton the next weekend. I bought another CD at that concert, so I could get it signed by all 3 of them.
I love thier music because its so meaningful. Unless someone actually listens to the lyrics, they miss alot of the deep thoughts that are contained within the words. Their style is amazing, and even in thier loudest songs they still have a calm and meaningful demeanor to them.
I love thier earlier music, especially songs like Starlight, Love Divine, and After the Rain.
If I could get out to Edmonton to see them live again, it would be the most amazing thing I’ve ever won.

You guys kick ass!
I heard your songs on myspace a few weeks ago, and it’s been the only thing that I’ve been listening to since.
You guys incorporate so much into your music… so many styles, genres, etc. It’s amazing! I love it.
Can’t wait to see you guys here in E-town!

I saw Rides Again at my school Leduc Composite High obviously in Leduc, Alberta.
I thought that the messages you were trying to get out to the kids, the stories you were telling, the fun you were having, and the plans you were making for your future was a good presentation not only for our pure enjoyment, but also to get us thinking about our future, not to take anything for granted and to always have a kick ass time!
thank you so much, it was really a pleasure to see you guys,
you rocked! i hope someday soon i will see you again.

Hey, I love Rides Again, they are more then amazing, their like Super FUNTASTIC, I met them at a leadership conference, and they were at there table full of their awesome shirts,hats(which I have)and cd’s, and I just had to walk up to them because they looked so bored, they are so nice, my friends and I got pictures with them.. Then later we sat with them and they were just like buds, it was awesome,, I wanna see them again..

Rides Again are an all-around great group. Saw them on tour last year, and have never met a band that was so down-to-earth and fun to talk to. The guys chatted with me for a while, and even let me check out the drumset (I’m a drummer, Aiot drums rock). Really nice to see a band that can rock on stage, develop a great feel with the audience, and then relate to them on a person to person basis. Right on, boys. Really inspiring to meet a band that’s clearly in the bizz for the right reasons!

Hey,
RidesAgain is an amazing band, and I think that what they’re doing is so cool. Like, reaching out to schools across Canada is a big thing, and I think it’ll definitely have an impact on teens (and kids). The hardcore lyrics and music are about totally down-to-earth stuff that relates very well to the situations young people are facing in this day and age. Thanks RidesAgain! Keep making awesome music!
