Ryder Returns with New Song “Southbound”
New York-based hard rock band Ryder, consisting of James Ryder (vocals/rhythm guitar), Max Knight (guitar), Rod Viquez (bass) and Nick Bavaro (drums), is back. The band will release their upcoming sophomore album “Menagerie” on January 31, 2025.
The album is their first body of work in five years since 2020 debut album “Killer Karma”.
Also, it is the first release following a lineup change in January 2024.
From the album, the band released the first single called “Southbound” on November 8, 2024.
The track was written by James Butka, Massimo Vetrano, Nicholas Bavaro, and Rodolfo Viquez. Produced by Max Knight.
The band said of the song, “'Southbound' explores themes of freedom and escape, carried by soaring guitar solos and a driving rhythm. It's a hard-hitting anthem for those chasing new horizons and refusing to settle.”- The new album comprises 10 songs, which the band recorded with producer Max Knight at Phantom Studios in New York.
The album is a vivid tapestry of human experience, blending raw emotion with powerful instrumentation.
Each track offers a unique lens into themes of struggle, triumph, and identity, reflecting Ryder's evolution as artists. -
