Hometown: Hamilton, ON Background/Composition: Tie and jacket clad four-piece dish out '60s garage-styled bliss. Grade: 89 Comment: With their mop tops, bubblegummy harmonies and the odd borrowed bit of body language, watching this band was like a game of Name That Influence. Achievement of Rock 'n' Roll Expectations 80-100:...

The Ride Theory @ CMW 2006

in
By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) March 3, 2006 3:00 pm
Background/Composition: A fine young four piece from the Hammer who crank out mod, surf guitars and good old rock 'n' roll. Grade: 83 Comment: Thursday at 1 a.m. is, perhaps, the least forgiving slot of the entire CMW festival. People are tired and anticipating the two full days of music ahead of them and they just...

Now the Hamilton rockers are busy working on new material for the still untitled follow-up to their In This City album.

It's not uncommon for a young independent band to get to play with an act they grew up admiring. This becomes much more difficult, though, when your heroes have been around for more than 40 years and are members of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, which is why The Ride Theory are beaming right now.
