The Rides stream 2 songs from Pierced Arrow

Blues supergroup The Rides have streamed two more tracks from upcoming second album Pierced Arrow.

Stephen Stills, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Barry Goldberg previously released Virtual World – now they’re offering Kick Out Of It and I’ve Got To Use My Imagination.

Stills recently said of the follow-up to 2013’s Can’t Get Enough: “A pierced arrow is one with a hole in its feathers – no telling where it will end up. It could be a fierce warrior about to unleash an arrow that has been tampered with, just as likely to come back and hit him.

“I kinda feel that way about the general state of things. Sometimes well-intended messages will veer wildly off course.”

Pierced Arrow is released on May 6 via Provogue Records.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
