“You bagged the drummer from hell in the opening bars!! And then into blinding riffs that collaged every lick of the Shadows and Beatles into the black hole of a Sin City theme tune. Simply amazing and totally accomplished.”
“A highly accomplished sound and arrangement - conjures up an evocative urban jungle city-scape with it's thrusting riffs and guitar sound and the vocals do the business well”
"Rider played second impressing the judges with some excellent musicianship and catchy tunes"
“Each had only a tiny amount of time to stamp their name on the evening and it was polished act of Rider that really shone through”
“Rider's second set was received with equal zeal as the squealing synths and startling guitar solos came to a climax”
