“I HAD MY MIND BLOWN!”
The seismic impact of Squire and the Roses on the ’90s UK indie scene, by Ride’s
ANDY BELL.
I WAS IN Oxford at art school on a foundation course in early ’89 when I first heard The Stone Roses and John Squire. Ride had had their first rehearsal at the end of ’88 and I bought Made Of Stone – I preferred the B-side, Going Down – but then I got the album and saw them live at Oxford Polytechnic and had my mind blown.
