In 2006, they released their debut indie album, an unusual process that took them to six different recording studios only to have the finished product stolen from a Vancouver, Washington studio.<br \/>\nThey&#8217;ve opened for bands like Kutless, Jimmy Needham, and even Edwin McCain, and performed at venues from churches to Denver&#8217;s Coors Field. This Friday, August 1, theRide will open for Third Day when they play a special free acoustic show at Crossroads Church in Denver, sponsored by KLOVE. (Seating is limited; for more info, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.klove.com\/Interact\/Events.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">visit the KLOVE website<\/a>.)<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re back with a second album<em>The Story of People,<\/em> filled with radio-friendly modern rock. Like their last album, <em>New Day<\/em>, theRide&#8217;s latest album is produced by Hyper Static Union lead vocalist Shawn Lewis. It&#8217;s well-written, well-performed and well-produced, with catchy hooks, funky beats and solid vocals, and should help the band capture even more industry attention.<br \/>\nAnd now you get to be part of the fun.<br \/>\nThe band is asking fans to help them decide which of the album&#8217;s songs should be the first single promoted to radio. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/theridemusic\" target=\"_blank\">Head over to theRide&#8217;s MySpace page <\/a>and vote for your favorite song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since their beginning it&#8217;s been a wild ride for the Colorado-based quartet, theRide, who last week released their sophomore project, The Story of People.
