"Ride the Vibe" is a fitting title for the new tune from Dim Wizard, also known as David Combs (Bad Moves).

The project's concept is to incorporate a new lineup for each song, pairing the sound to fit the collaborators.

"Ride the Vibe" features Steve Ciolek (The Sidekicks) on lead vocals, was co-written with Jeff Rosenstock (all the bands), and was produced by Sarah Tudzin (Illuminati Hotties).

The project began in 2020 following the release of Bad Moves' Untenable and "Ride the Vibe" is its third single.
