Artist Detailed Info: Bike Problems

BIKE PROBLEMS is a punk band of bike riders who write music about bikes and problems for bike punks and/or nerds who like bikes. BIKE PROBLEMS is from Austin, TX and the singer has red hair and wears glasses. They are not at all hip, but they aren't square. When they're not playing in silly 60s nugget cover bands and one off synth bands with their girlfriends, BIKE PROBLEMS is where two guys (bass, guitar) and a girl (drums) go to let it all out.

Combining obscure 80s hardcore with new wavey pop from decades past. Take the Adolescents, Descendents, DI, and The Simpletones, and combine it with Devo, The Cars, and the B-52s. Angry shit people can dance too. And bob their heads. Conveniently, BIKE PROBLEMS' desire to not want to be hardcore or indie in Austin, TX is extremely socially relevant in 2009.

BIKE PROBLEMS is indefatigably about falling off your bike. More than likely it's going to tear of some skin, scare you a little, reaffirm your own mortality and existence, but it's also going to be preceded by the pure pleasure of flying down a hill, running through the tail end of a yellow light, and drunkenly weaving around a slow car with your friends on a social ride. It's all about the combination of pleasure and pain.
