[Listen] – Death Cab For Cutie – “Twisterella” (Ride Cover)

You may never have heard of Ride, but chances are you’ve heard of Death Cab For Cutie, so let me give a little insight as to who the former are.

In the late 80′s and early 90′s there was burgeoning Indie scene in the UK, specifically London and Manchester that were churning out talent like it was going out of fashion.  Bands like Oasis, Blur, and Suede paved the way for a shitstorm of other bands to gain some commercial or mainstream success, one of which was Ride fronted by future Oasis/Beady Eye member Andy Bell.

Whilst never reaching the magnitude of success as the aforementioned bands, Ride did however make four albums and attain a moderate level of success although mostly on their home shores. Death Cab For Cutie have been playing this song live for a little while now and when they visited BBC Radio One’s Maida Vale studio they spoke about the music coming out of those cities in the early 90′s and how they influenced the band, and so naturally they covered Ride’s “Twisterella” which you can hear below.
