From May to September this year, NWOCR icons Ryders Creed will be cruising around the UK touring tracks from their critically acclaimed sophomore album, 'Lost Souls', of which the track, 'Money', is today's Video Of The Day. With support from Black Tree Vultures, White Raven Down, Liberty Lies and Wicked Stone, as well as a few festival appearances along the way, the Staffordshire four-piece effortlessly combine melodic vocals, high octane riffs and a rock-solid rhythm section to create passionate songs delivered straight from the heart. From soaring choruses and harmonious instrumentals to hard-hitting riffs and stomping breakdowns, 'Lost Souls' is more mature than the band's debut, darker, moodier and heavier, with a very present mental health awareness running constant. Indeed, having been forced to postpone their album tour due to the ongoing pandemic, the band are beyond excited to finally announce these official tour dates!
