Ride Your Bike

There is exciting talent in this band led by Mike Getches - The Music Connection

"Ride Your Bike's Bad News From The Bar is more than a collection of idiosyncratic pop songs; it is a soundtrack to a story constructed by frontman Mike Getches. Some of the material here has a cavalcade of indie-pop hooks while So If We reveals a different side of the band as it begins with surprising aggression and nicely offsets some of the more subdued efforts. Getches uses his perfect indie rock voice to inundate the listener with emotion without ever sounding artificial. Instead, Ride Your Bike plays with a purity and focus. There are a lot of kids who are currently swooning over Plain White T's or Cute Is What We Aim For, but they should look into Ride Your Bike." - Jersey Beat

"Bad News From The Bar is one of the first records in months to literally come out of left field and take over my cd changer. Ride Your Bike isn't your typical Deep Elm band; they're part of a new generation. Enjoy the music for what it is: fun indie-pop with erratic lyrics and simple melodies. Check out Ride Your Bike because I have a good feeling that this won't be the last time you hear about them." - Absolutepunk.net

"Eleven songs of catchy melodies that will take your ears the first time you hear them: We All Have Our Shoes, Sticks And Stones and This Car Is Hot As Hell display some serious skills for writing cool harmonies with simple elements. It's great because a lof of different people will enjoy Ride Your Bike...from the indie rock nerds (like me) to the fans of mainstream pop punk. They're all destined to fall in love with the harmonies of Bad News From The Bar. Not just because they're good, but because they're awesome. A great collection of indie rock fused with pop." - Truepunk
