Dude, My Dude - 'Bike Ride'
After the success of their debut track ‘Loser’, which appeared in a number of Spotify editorial playlists - London based Dude, My Dude are back with their second single ‘Bike Ride’.
A full eruption of energy on many levels throughout, this track certainly keeps you on your toes. Raw indie rock guitar sounds with big venue-shouting worthy vocals. Bike Ride peaks with a triumphant guitar solo before reaching a melancholic conclusion that mirrors the opening verse.
“The song was written during our final year at university, as we were slowly bidding farewell to a huge chapter of our lives and all the places that came with it. A chapter during which we made friendships for life and those for five minutes, regretted one-night stands, and had our hearts broken. Bike Ride isn’t just about a specific person. It’s about the people who sporadically graced our lives and made them profoundly better. It’s a song for those who bought us pints and listened to us as we drunkenly moaned about our flatmates, and it’s a song for those whose feelings we may have neglected and ignored. “ explains the band.

There are few shows more abrasive; loud, chaotic and brash than a Guilt Trip show. Their live pits are a tour-de-force of sheer brutality and mayhem, and the Manchester outfit translate that superbly well onto their new album that’s as hardworking as the city they come from.
