"I've been working in the business for 33 years now and every now and again a band comes along that just makes me feel like I was a teenager again, listening to and discovering great music for the first time. A collection of songs that just make me feel the same way as when I first heard the stone roses or oasis or the verve or discovered The Beatles, The Who, The Stones etc. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it makes me smile and gives me that buzz that makes doing what I do the best job in the world. Well this time, that band is Ryder. An album so complete and full of classic songs, oozing confidence and swagger and making me want to listen to the album from start to finish every time. Not many bands can make me do that nowadays. As debut albums go, it's a classic and for a band that's only been going for a very short space of time, it makes it even more remarkable."
