Who are psychdelic cosmic ride?

The band “Psychedelic cosmic ride” was made up by 4 acquaintances from a school in el Cesar, Colombia. A teacher teamed them up in a group project and while chatting, they found out that they had similar music taste. At first, they weren´t really friends, but through discussions about music, and small playing session, they quickly realized that they had musical connection and potential to form a band.

Later on, “Psychedelic cosmic ride” was made. It´s members decided to give it that name because the felt that their music could transport people into other places. When we asked Pablo, the bass player, what they wanted to achieve through their music composition and performance? He mentioned that all they really wanted was people to feel something and to convey them all the felling’s they experienced while playing because playing music is really what they all love to do.

The band claims that they haven´t found a specific style of music they would like to attach to, on the contrary, they prefer to flow with what they listen on the daily basis and take that as inspiration. At the moment, they are working in a new album that has influences of reggae, rock, and music from the region they are from, this helps them to create a very characteristic sound that may appeal to a lot of people.

During the interview, the band mentioned that the songs they like to write, more than a catchy chorus they are meant to have a sociopolitical meaning. Living in Colombia and being aware of all the violence and corruption our society has experienced throughout the years, inspire the band members want to speak up. In way we could say that Psychedelic cosmic ride is following the historical path of using music as a political weapon and channel of information.
