Biography

Formed in 1988 in Oxfordshire, England, Ride quickly gained attention for their unique blend of massive distortion and direct melodies, earning them the title of pioneers in the shoegazing genre. With influences like My Bloody Valentine, Ride stood out for their strong songwriting and dynamic sound. Although initially hailed as the future of British rock, the band's quick rise to fame was followed by a fall from the spotlight.

After a series of successful EPs and albums in the early '90s, tensions within the band led to their breakup in 1996. Members went on to pursue various musical projects, with Andy Bell joining Oasis and Mark Gardener releasing solo work. In 2014, Ride announced their reunion and released their first album in over two decades in 2017, marking a comeback for the influential band.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low

How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
