SOULRIDE Bio
Soulride was founded in November 2008 in Coventry (UK) by three Poles who, after a few years of living overseas, decided to return to making music. The beginnings of the band were definitely rock. Soulride quickly recorded the first EP “LOST” and began touring around Coventry.
After recording the second EP “PARALYZED” the band performed at concerts all over the UK, playing in London, Birmingham and Manchester. On “PARALYZED” the band moved towards heavy metal, the tracks were heavier but still melodic.
After playing several dozen shows, personal problems began, which caused the suspension of activities. After a few years, the band was resuscitated, but between 2014-2018 Soulride played just a few gigs
In 2022 in a new line-up, with a new energy was born, the band started rehearsing and creating new material. In February 2023 the band recorded 2 demo songs which were immediately embraced by local promoters.
In Autumn 2023, the band headed to the studio and started to create their debut album ‘Murder Act’ and continuing to play gigs, including reaching the finals of the Coventry Metal 2 The Masses rounds.
