Rush of Energy crackles with new urgency and energy. “It’s kind of a culmination. ‘Let’s show the world what we can do if we’re a full band.’ It’s sort of my proof to the world that Bike Routes isn’t just an acoustic act anymore. It’s a full, ready-to-go rock n’ roll band. There is still an acoustic base layer and songs that bridge the gap between Love is an Action and where Bike Routes is going.”
The songs explore questions of meaning with powerfully relatable meaning and depth. “It’s still kind of based on growing up in New Jersey, but also on growing up and
realizing that a lot of life is out of your hands,” David says. “Coming to terms with it and coming through it, in terms of choosing how we spend our time on this earth. The rush of energy you get when you’re doing something you love.”
Bike Routes excels in the live environment, as evidenced on a Spring 2024 tour with Hawthorne Heights. “Reading books is my hobby. I’m a big reader, and I’ve always loved writing. Learning how to say what I want exactly the right way throughout the years has been a joy. Playing shows is the payoff. Performing these songs that I feel fully connected to and connecting with the crowd.”
