Wild Ride
Biography
Another in a long line of dutch keyboard oriented bands in the shape of Wild Ride. For Fans of 1st Avenue, Terra Nova and Zinatra, these guys might appear to be copy-cats, but their guitar power is more significant, courtesy of six-string bender Yuri Florentinus. The production skills of Okkie Huysdens (The President, Diesel), ensures this band gets the attention of those with a liking for heavy guitar/keyboard based melodic rock. A couple of Wild Ride's personnel came from fellow Dutch band Hot Legs (Pieters and Van Deer Linden), the latter was also part of another Dutch outfit Vangouw, who it seems will be having their material released by AOR-FM Records during 2009!
