Blue Grape Music Signs Bike Routes

Bike Routes

October 14 is the date that Blue Grape Music will release Rush Of Energy by Bike Routes. Call it indie-alternative. Bike Routes is David Lawrence Osterhout from a sleepy Burlington County hamlet called Evesham Township. The single/video is “You Want It You Got It.”

"'You Want It You Got It' is an ode to long late-night drives home and the thoughts that come with them," says Osterhout. "It leans into hyper-specific moments from my life, but they're moments that anyone listening can relate to. From the intrusive thoughts that go hand-in-hand with the hardships of forward progress — 'Drive away with my heart on the dashboard, don’t you hate when you get what you asked for?' — to all-too-human existential qualms — 'If nature is healing, then I think these might be the end times' — this song ushers in a new era of Bike Routes. You want it? You got it."
