Biography

Renegade Ride is a rock group based in Helsinki, Finland. After spending a couple of years rehearsing, gigging and writing new songs, the band's debut album Dream Machine was released in April 2009. The album was recorded and mixed by Aku Rannila (e.g. Pintandwefall, Jo' Buddy) at CPON Huone studio in Orimattila, Finland and released through Dazzlebox. Dream Machine features 10 songs and is available via iTunes, CD Baby and other major online stores. Full promo kit including the Dream Machine CD is available on request.

Renegade Ride combines heavy guitar riffs with acoustic guitars, catchy choruses and vocal harmonies to produce a unique modern rock sound. You may see a resemblance with some contemporary American rock bands, such as Foo Fighters, Incubus, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The band is currently promoting their debut album and about to hit the stages after the studio break.

Selected Reviews and Quotes
Stars and Shoot me down could've been featured on any album with The Cult. My favorites are Crusader and the title track Dream Machine that both are good enough to be compared to the original style of Incubus smart rock. --Kaj Roth, melodic.net

They [Renegade Ride] introduced me to their music a few days ago with a song called Stars - and my god, I just freakin' love it. --Jason Evangelho, Insomnia Radio (insomniaradio.net)

Very original and I like to see these bands breaking the mold. -- Patty the Radio Girl, Rock Solid Pressure (syndicated FM radio show)

It is a blend of Dave Matthews/Queens of the Stone Age - in a modern twist rock and roll kinda fashion... It’s a damn shame that a huge ocean is in my way, otherwise I would be front and center checking out a show. --Jake A. Wheat, StreetBlastRadio (http://www.streetblastradio.com)

Who wouldn't want to hear rockers sing clean harmonies? The choruses are good...The group's debut album is a strong package...The arrangements of the songs are great and Dream Machine will definitely find an audience. --Henna Kapiainen, Vertigo (vertigo.cd, in Finnish)
