NEW JERSEY INDIE ALTERNATIVE ARTIST BIKE ROUTES SHARE “WORLD APART (REIMAGINED)” — LISTEN
TOURING WITH ARM’S LENGTH
Blue Grape Music recording artist Bike Routes released the wonderful Rush of Energy EP on October 25 of last year. Get it here.
Since then, Bike Routes, the alter ego of David Lawrence Osterhout, has remained busy, hitting the road and winning over new fans at every venue and every city.
Today, Bike Routes has shared “World Apart (Reimagined).” Listen here.
“‘World Apart (Reimagined)’ is a step back in energy in order to really showcase all of the other elements taking place in the song. It fully captures the story-telling elements of a classic Bike Routes track, while ushering forward a new sound and experience,” Osterhout says.
It’s truly another way to appreciate, enjoy, and ultimately love the song, with its simple strumming.
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.
Bike Routes is currently on tour with Arm’s Length. All dates are below.
