Winning Days by The Vines
Winning Days is an album by The Vines, released in 2004. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 23 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Ride”, on 23 lists with a best position of #43.
Winning Days, the Vines' second album, came out in March 2004 as the follow-up to Highly Evolved, and it keeps the Sydney band's formula of '60s garage grit crossed with '90s alternative crunch. Rob Schnapf produced it over summer 2003 up at Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York, with the mix finished that September at Cello Studios in Los Angeles.
Frontman and guitarist Craig Nicholls, the band's one constant, still swings between sweet Beatles-ish daydreams and throat-shredding blasts, and "Ride" is the blast: stomping drums, a buzzsaw riff and Nicholls hollering like he's late for something. It's the song from the album that rock radio has held on to.
