Sunderland’s RYDER crash onto the scene with their debut single ‘Broken Footsteps‘ — a sharp hit of indie rock energy featuring Zak Starkey on drums and artwork by visionary cover work artist Gareth Halliday. It’s raw, anthemic and full of intent — the sound of a band already finding their stride.
RYDER blend the timeless energy of brit pop with the raw edge of indie rock, crafting anthemic melodies and reflective lyrics that resonate with anyone seeking authenticity. With catchy riffs and unique style, they stand out by staying true to their roots while pushing musical boundaries. Single ‘Broken Footsteps‘ is a stomping tune that showcases the songwriting swagger of this Sunderland band and features a cameo appearance by Zak Starkey.
Signed to producer Nick Brine’s Flip Flop Records and managed by the Mancunian McGee Kyle Dale of Bittersweet Home, RYDER have wasted no time. 11 months together, 4 months recording their debut album — Broken Footsteps is the first taste of what’s coming, and it lands with real weight.
“The debut album from Sunderland group Ryder is packed full of anthems from start to finish. Combining the influences of Oasis and Kasabian together leads to an album brimming with heart.”
