The Ridings

West Yorkshire Indie.



"Indie, punk, alternative. Based in Wakefield area, I've seen these guys a couple of times and they get better and better. Strong lyrics, tight playing and good entertainment value."

'Lovely basslines, catchy guitar riffs and licks with unique vocals is what The Ridings LOVE to throw at you. Their energy on stage is astounding, they really love being there - which is something I really appreciate and love from any performance from a band like this!'

'The Ridings are an Indie, punk, alternative band from the Wakefield area. Consisting of Kris Holland, Danny Johnson, Danny Curtis and Craig Morvan this band are definitely one to watch for out for in 2008. With their catchy riffs and great lyrics The Ridings will have you transfixed from their first number to their last!'

-Fake Festival Review



The Ridings have taken the concept of owning nice guitars and added to it the ability of actually being able to play them very very f&^king well. With the backing of a now much heavier, dirtier backline, and the audacity to open a set with a cover of french electro heroes Justice’s ‘We Are Your Friends’ The Ridings are gathering pace at some speed, please please check out their ever increasing number of tight as you like pop gems.
