BIKE ROUTES RELEASES RUSH OF ENERGY EP

Bike Routes Rush of Energy COVER copy

Bike Routes has released his Rush of Energy EP today, October 25, via Blue Grape Music.The EP is available on vinyl in several colorways and is full of dreamy, indie x alt pop tracks. Get it here.

Bike Routes also shared the visualizer for "Killing Cattle In the Valley." Watch it here.

"It's a story about doing what it takes to understand yourself and the roles we must play while on this earth," Bike Routes says.


Bike Routes is David Lawrence Osterhout.

Deeply intimate, earnest, and heartfelt expressions of anxiety, heartbreak, and acceptance lie within deceptively sugary melodies and hooks. David’s acoustic guitar is the anchor, inviting listeners into a notebook full of emotion and authenticity.

The Garden State gave the world Bruce Springsteen, The Misfits, Lifetime, and The Gaslight Anthem. There's perhaps a bit of the essence of each of those trailblazers within the Bike Routes sound. While the South Jersey singer/songwriter conjures the spirit of the iconic troubadours of indie rock, classic emo, and postmodern pop-punk, he distinctively carves a singularly unique identity all his own.

Osterhout teamed up with producer Zach Tuch (Touché Amoré, Silverstein, Movements), looking to expand the Bike Routes sound. The resulting collection is the Rush of Energy EP — the first Bike Routes release via Blue Grape Music.

RUSH OF ENERGY EP TRACK LISTING:
"You Want It You Got It"
"World Apart"
"Rush of Energy"

"Small Victories"
"Killing Cattle in the Valley"
