South Jersey singer/songwriter, Bike Routes (AKA David Lawrence Osterhout), has just shared a single and video, “You Want It You Got It.” The track is a precursor to his upcoming new EP, Rush Of Energy, which drops on October 5 via the record label Blue Grape Music. Check it out below.

“You Want It You Got It” is an ode to long, late night drives home and the thoughts that come with them,” Bike Routes says. “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, to all too human existential qualms.”

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. 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.

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. Bike Routes excels in the live environment, as evidenced on a Spring 2024 tour with Hawthorne Heights. More touring is expected for later this year.
