underland’s RYDER crash onto the scene with their debut single Broken Footsteps — a sharp hit of indie rock energy featuring Zak Starkey on drums and artwork by visionary cover work artist Gareth Halliday. It’s raw, anthemic and full of intent — the sound of a band already finding their stride.

Signed to producer Nick Brine’s Flip Flop Records and managed by the Mancunian McGee Kyle Dale of Bittersweet Home, RYDER have wasted no time. 11 months together, 4 months recording their debut album — Broken Footsteps is the first taste of what’s coming, and it lands with real weight.

“So good it made my tea go cold. Sunderland’s finest, hands down.” - Rob from Adored Music
