Bike Routes on Touring with Slow Joy, Prairie & Their Breakout Year

Recorded outside the Toronto stop of Slow Joy's I Love You So Much I Could Die Tour, David of Bike Routes joins OurSpace for a special on-location conversation about the band's breakout year. We discuss the making of their debut album Prairie, how World Apart became the song that introduced so many listeners to the band, and what it's been like hearing fans sing along to songs that began as simple acoustic demos in New Jersey. David also reflects on the musical influences that shaped Bike Routes (including Bruce Springsteen, The Gaslight Anthem, My Chemical Romance and Spanish Love Songs), why Prairie became a surprisingly conceptual record, and how the band is already writing the next chapter. Plus, we talk about touring with Slow Joy, the surreal experience of hearing your music on the radio, and the importance of building a local music scene.
