In the mythology that is Frank Herbert’s Dune books, a sandrider is a person who has managed to capture and ride one of the gigantic sandworms that live on the planet Arrakis. If you can imagine someone managing to wrangle a huge wriggling creature, you have some sense of the musical power that the Seattle hard rock titans Sandrider has managed to tame and keep control of.
That should come as no surprise to anyone who follows the Seattle rock and metal scene, as SANDRIDER features three of the city’s most unstoppable forces: drummer Nat Damm and guitarist John Weisnewski of Akimbo, and bassist Jesse Roberts of The Ruby Doe.
SANDRIDER have already been touted as one of the best bands in Seattle by alt-weekly The Stranger and have quickly found themselves sharing the stage with other NW rock luminaries as Tad Doyle’s Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, Lesbian, and Helms Alee.
SANDRIDER’s next stop is world domination, which should come in short stead once their commanding debut self-titled LP is unleashed by Good to Die Records. This long awaited album, recorded by Matt Bayles (Pearl Jam, Isis, Mono, The Sword), is a simmering, brooding masterpiece that gives way throughout to massive eruptions of oozing fire and fury.
