Founded in Cologne in 2013, Plainride have long earned their place among the champions of Germany’s Heavy Rock underground. Never quite belonging to any particular genre clique, the band has garnered a reputation for their sweat-drenched, high octane live shows (more than 130 in 9 countries to date) as well as their eclectic musical repertoire – experimenting with violin, organ, and harmonica from an early stage in their career. Hailed by some as the German response to <a href="spotify:artist:161AC1AVRkIGIMxyj5djFQ" data-name="Clutch">Clutch</a>, Plainride’s songs frequently feature cryptic mythological references and fierce social criticism – wrapped in catchy riffs and big choruses reminiscent of Heavy Rock greats like <a href="spotify:artist:4hvwEwrCmGj22uURGVET7Q" data-name="Monster Magnet">Monster Magnet</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5xUf6j4upBrXZPg6AI4MRK" data-name="Soundgarden">Soundgarden</a>. 2023 saw Plainride bouncing back strong from the pandemic with the release of their third, self-titled album to critical acclaim, supporting U.S. Sludge & Roll legends <a href="spotify:artist:1BBIIH0h76KN8gYeXFcPjR" data-name="Corrosion Of Conformity">Corrosion Of Conformity</a> on their 20-date European tour as well as opening at several shows for Icelandic Retro Rockers <a href="spotify:artist:61MH29rMIyOfuK7KXQznzX" data-name="The Vintage Caravan">The Vintage Caravan</a> and legendary supergroup <a href="spotify:artist:0XQIFN6X5mD98c6gOSLtfJ" data-name="The Winery Dogs">The Winery Dogs</a>.
