One hell of a Ride: (l to r) Mark Gardener, Steve Queralt, Loz Colbert and Andy Bell

By rights, Ride’s reunion should have been a familiar story. Their return to touring in 2015 after 19 years apart was followed two years later by an engaging, up for it comeback album. Weather Diaries was better than most records by bands who had been dormant for so long. Nobody would have complained if our heroes disappeared off into the sunset again, or settled into a cosy routine of festival appearances and the occasional headline show.
