This trio has more to say than just rock-n-roll, All the Way Rider’s new album carries levels of blues, fury and fierceness. “Floyd” has a slight throwback sound with a grungy lyrical base but also crisp bass lines and percussion.
The 6-song EP is thick with encapsulated production and clean volume. Jeremy Jessen’s guitar and vocal abilities steer the listener like riding on a ship, constant waves of emotion, Rocky De Vries’ drumming pulsates clear rhythm and Scott Walters’ bass lines are interrupted. The tracks certainly flow together in unison throughout the EP, which makes for curiosity of what a full-length album could offer.
The most appealing track from “Floyd” is “Yucatan Suckaman,” which has many interesting comparisons and appealing lyrical mysteries. The entire EP is interesting yet leaves the listener wanting more. With quite a few albums under the proverbial band belt, I hope that what falls into place after “Floyd” is more lasting and impressive.
All the Way Rider has been doing this since 2005 and has a certain appeal; the landscape of the music is whipped cream heavy yet uplifting emotionally.
