Winning Days
Winning Days is the second album by Australian rock group the Vines released on March 29, 2004. The enhanced CD has the music video for "Ride."
The making of Winning Days
In May 2003, the band went into Bearsville Studio in Woodstock, New York with Rob Schnapf again on production. While Craig Nicholls had talked of having a highly produced album, he told the Australian edition of Rolling Stone in March 2004 that they decided to stick to a less-is-more philosophy. "I wanted it to be - in my head - something grand, with big ideas and that vision sort of thing. But at the same time, that doesn't mean that something can't be special if it's just simple. Because I think that the songs are the main thing".
