Island – Ride

Led by an emotive, 80s-influenced guitar riff and the impassioned, profound vocal stylings of enigmatic frontman Rollo Doherty, “Ride” epitomizes the simultaneously nostalgic and refreshing sound ISLAND’s devoted followers have grown to love. The single is the third track to be revealed off the band’s forthcoming debut album Feels Like Air which will be released April 6 via the NYC-based Frenchkiss Records. It continues the band’s unstoppable run of successes, including recent single “The Day I Die,” which caused a stir late last year amassing over 538k Spotify streams. Previous to that the band shared “Try.”

Having spent 2017 firmly establishing themselves as ones-to-catch on the live circuit and festival tents, ISLAND’s captivatingly intense shows have truly built the band’s reputation as one of London’s most exciting bands. Before they bring their show to North America this Fall (dates to be announced soon!) they have just announced a headline tour for the UK and Europe. The tour precedes ISLAND’s eagerly anticipated performance at Annie Mac’s AMP event on February 22, 2018 alongside Tom Misch and Tom Tripp.

ISLAND is Rollo Doherty (lead vocals), Jack Raeder (Guitarist), James Wolfe (Bassist) and Toby Richards (Drummer).
