10 Code – Ride

 

10 Code – Ride
Self released – 2020
Rock, Hard, Grunge, Stoner
Rated: *****

Been listening to this album a lot, the most and almost all the time the past weeks! Which is only logical, since they kick things off with some proper grungy hardrock and pure smash ‘n grab trucking stoner after which they continue on with some more and glorious grunge as well as more of that windswept and fast paced stoner. We’re referring to the new album Ride by Greek foursome 10 Code! Formed on the dirty streets of Athens somewhere around that foul year of our lord 2011, the four released two damn fine EP’s, a crazy good full-sized album Swiftlets and now there’s follow-up Ride. Where Swiftlets seemed to move more into the QOTSA variation of the stoner sound and the Foo Fighters stadium rock, the new release is a step into their very own dimension. It brings their love for grunge into a much purer form or light and with those speedy desert sounds it all becomes incredibly tasty. Recorded by John Voulgaris at the Electric Highway Studio 10 Code deliver nine punchy and gravelly songs that are heavy, honest and one hell of a Ride!
