Common Rider - Definition

Common Rider was formed in 1999 by Jesse Michaels (guitar, vocals), Mass Giorgini (bass), and Dan Lumley (drums). They were a ska punk band on a much softer note than that of Michael's first group Operation Ivy, but still contained the same amount of Energy and passion. They released two full-length albums and one EP. Last Wave Rockers was released in 1999 on Lookout! Records. Thief In a Sleeping Town EP was also released on Lookout! Records in 2001. The band released This Is Unity Music on Hopeless Records in 2002. A new EP is supposed to be released in the near future containing in a split with Against All Authority containing outtakes from 2002's This Is Unity Music, such as "Where the Waves Are Highest," on Hopeless Records' Hopelessly Devoted to You 5 compilation. They broke up in 2003 mainly because of the want to pursue other opportunities. Dan Lumley officially retired from music at that time as well. Mass still remains in Squirtgun.
