ONE WAY RIDE
Straight Up! (MCA)
Reviewed by Shaun Dale

Long Beach alt-rockers One Way Ride have turned in a quality set of songs for their new MCA release, with a quality set of performances to display them. Nothing particular original about the sound here, but it's definitely the kind of thing that people that like this kind of thing like. Like me, for instance.

Equally adept at full out thrash and thoughtful ballads, they have a wide sonic range for a quartet, and front man Leldon has some of the best pipes in the genre.

These guys have been at it for almost a decade, and they're willing to work hard at it. The payoff is a major label album that actually rocks and is definitely worth checking out.

Track List:

Painted Perfect * Pot Of Gold * Train Song * La-Ti-Da * Bayou * Beautiful Blue * Litefoot * You Say * I'll Take It All * Oh Well * Bullets In The River * 13 Yr. Old Heroin Addict In TV Land
