To understand the cultural weight of the year 1992 for the Oxford based band Ride, one must look at the peak of the shoegaze genre. Formed in the late eighties, the quartet consisted of Andy Bell, Mark Gardener, Laurence “Loz” Colbert, and Steve Queralt. By 1992, they had already made significant waves with their debut album, but it was the release of their second studio album, Going Blank Again, that solidified their legendary status. Released in March of that year, the record featured complex guitar layering, driving rhythms, and soaring vocal harmonies. The standout track, “Leave Them All Behind”, became a massive critical and commercial success, defining the expansive, wall of sound production that the group was famous for.

This specific year represents a creative zenith for the musicians, capturing a moment when alternative British indie music was transitioning and expanding its boundaries. The era is characterized by intense live performances, defined by the musicians staring at their effects pedals, which gave the genre its famous moniker. The year 1992 remains a historic timestamp for the group, representing their transition from underground favorites to major figures in the alternative rock landscape.
