The Bike returns quick and true last week with a follow-up single from their sudden newly reformed band. Let your badly damaged ears rehabilitate with this 7" single, Composite, Volume 2. The newly browned bike is going to spoil us with their prolific output, this coming just 4 months after Volume 1 was released to the joy of long-waiting fans of the No Idea Records, Michigan based act. The band mentions on their website that the first song, "Some Optimistic" they blame on the cold winter weather for its bare and harsh sound, but hey, to this guy it sounds fuggin awesome, bro. For lovers of Hot Water Music , Braid, and Cursive - a must. Check this blog for tour dates beginning in May / And please check my previous stream-of-thought on Composite, Volume 1 if this exacerbates your fancy any further. Cheers!

"The 7″ features two new songs, "Some Optimistic" / "Never Walk This Alone", and is limited to 1,100 copies (includes a digital download code). We recorded it in our practice space/home studio (aka Dan's basement) in January, which probably explains why they feel a little slower and colder than Composite, Volume One. That's what a winter in Michigan will do to a band."
