Free Ride
Free Ride started in 2000 and we slowly began writing songs and really coming together. We played a few parties and recorded our first demo cd, consisting of five tracks. Only recently we began to play bigger shows and make our name in Sacramento and surrounding areas. "Some Idle Tuesday EP" was recorded in December 2002 and is our first real release. It's single, "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" is beginning latenight radio rotation.
