Lightning Bolt is a 2-piece drums-and-bass band from Providence, Rhode Island, USA. The band consists of *Brian Chippendale* on drums and vocals, and *Brian Gibson* on bass. They are known for their loud and chaotic live shows, where they have played on the floor instead of on stage until mid-2014. Their unique style combines elements of speed metal, noise, and free jazz.

If you enjoy the music of *Melt-Banana*, *Hella*, or *Zach Hill*, then Lightning Bolt's energetic sound will definitely appeal to you. Other similar artists include *Black Pus*, *Arab On Radar*, and *Black Eyes*. With influences ranging from *Brainiac* to *Liars* to *Drive Like Jehu*, Lightning Bolt has carved out their own distinct niche in the music world.

Experience the raw power and intensity of Lightning Bolt's music by exploring their albums today. Whether you're a fan of experimental rock or simply crave something different, this dynamic duo is sure to leave a lasting impression with their blistering performances and genre-defying compositions.

Ride the Skies is the second album by Lightning Bolt, and this re-release makes it available to fans for the first time since it’s original release. Compared to their first album it’s cleaner, tighter, recorded in studio rather than live. Which is not to say this is boring or sanitized in any way, Lightning Bolt never fail to make magic, filling a space with loud, raw sound. Sounds of synth or guitar turn out to be bass, and riffs become patterns, become a beat in the background, become a wall of noise, become a clear sound above it all. Lightning Bolt are known for the sound that truly comes into it’s own in this album. Ride the Skies is rereleased with deluxe packaging featuring jacket art that was designed by Brian Chippendale for the original release but has never been realized until now.
