We recently had the stellar opportunity to check out the sophomore album, “The Rideout” via Rum Bar Records, from Boston mod-pop trio, The Chelsea Curve. You can listen to “The Rideout” Here . The vibe and energy from The Chelsea Curve is an electrifying breath of fresh air that we are very much ready for. As soon as we heard the opening track, “The Ride” we were absolutely hooked . You can listen to “Rideout” Here on Spotify and on Bandcamp Here

The title of the new record, is taken directly from scooter culture parlance that inspires the band’s ethos, style, and sound, The Rideout features seven hyperactive tracks, compiling three 2025 singles (“Kindawanna,” “Never Come Down,” and “Rally ‘Round”) with flashy new anthemic belter “Ride” and three new tracks in “Outta My Head,” “I Can’t Help It,” and “In Real Life.”

In one sense, The Rideout is classic Chelsea Curve, with the trusted trio of Linda Pardee (bass, vocals, keys), Tim Gillis (guitars, vocals, keys), and recent recruit Bruce Caporal (drums and percussion) delivering the next aural wave where British indie and mod culture intertwine with stateside power-pop, punk, and college rock for a hyper-infectious and melodic embrace. But it also explores some new sonic territory, with a more layered and textured sound without losing any of the grit and spunk that first lit their spark a few years back.

“We’re putting the ‘power’ in the ‘pop’ with this one,” says Gillis. “All these songs together in one place are pretty relentless. We’re really happy with the combination of punch and polish.

Some bands tend to be reserve and held back… However, not The Chelsea Curve , they prove it’s ok to live life , take chances and totally rock out.

Produced by The Chelsea Curve, The Rideout was recorded and mixed by Mike Quinn at a trio of Eastern Massachusetts hotspots in Allston’s Mad Oak Studios; Bluetone Studio in Somerville; and Boston’s The Record Company. It was mastered by Dave Locke / JP Masters in Seattle, Washington. 

This record is about living for the moment, being with your people and just enjoying life,” says Pardee. “Yeah, kind of corny, but life’s way too short to be precious.”

So drive fast , take chances and check out The Chelsea Cure and their new album. ‘The Rideout”
