T-Ride is the debut album of the California-based heavy metal band of the same name. Noted for its wildly complex instrument and vocal arrangements. It featured lead singer Dan Arlie's multi-octave vocal styles and Van Halen-influenced guitar playing by Geoff Tyson. Songs from the album were used in various motion pictures and television shows including "Luxury Cruiser" in the soundtrack of 1992's Encino Man , "Zombies from Hell" in the movie Captain Ron and "Bone Down" in an episode of Baywatch , "Forbidden Paradise-part 2". The band did a small club tour during the summer. Drummer/producer Eric Valentine went on to become a multi-platinum selling producer of acts including: Smash Mouth, Queens of the Stone Age, Third Eye Blind, Lostprophets, Good Charlotte, Nickel Creek, John Fogerty and more.

"You and Your Friend" was covered by Snake River Conspiracy in 2000 for their debut album Sonic Jihad , which Eric Valentine co-produced. The Birdwatchers (featuring Dan Plock and the Burbank Bros) were sampled on this version of "You and Your Friend", and also sang backup vox for Smashmouth (also under the direction of engineer Eric Valentine). Mr. Plock was also assistant engineer for the T-Ride album, sang additional vocals and crafted the song order for the release. Mr Plock also slept on the studio couch during much of the project. After T-Ride disbanded in 1993 Mr. Plock went on to become primary songwriter and performer with "Radiant Radishes" Dos Plock Bros (feat Matt Plock) and now is releasing music with his son Anson under the name Dannson.
