Deep Elm is one of those rare labels that never signs bands that are already big or that are hyped, yet you always know that it’s going to be worth your time. That’s once again the case with Ride Your Bike’s “The Connection”. If The Get Up Kids hadn’t gone all mellow on us, I’m imagining this is what they would’ve sounded like. Think of “Stay What You Are” era Saves The Day or Death Cab at their most boisterous.
The songs on here are upbeat, come with catchy hooks and good lyrics and have a way of staying in your head for the rest of the day. My only qualm with this release if you can call it one is that it’s just six songs long. I want to hear more dammit!
If you are looking for some seriously rocking songs with pop sensibilities, look no further… “The Connection” is all you’ll need.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
