Paradox is a high-energy American pop-punk band blending razor-sharp riffs, hook-heavy choruses, and a dose of nostalgic angst. Known for their explosive live shows and unapologetically honest lyrics, Paradox channels early-2000s punk attitude through a modern, melodic edge. With songs built for shouting in crowded rooms and screaming along in cars at 2 a.m., Paradox is carving out their own lane in the new wave of pop-punk revival.

Bike Routes is… David Lawrence Osterhout. Deeply intimate, earnest, and heartfelt expressions of anxiety, heartbreak, and acceptance lie within deceptively sugary melodies and hooks. David’s acoustic guitar is the anchor, inviting listeners into a notebook full of emotion and authenticity. The Garden State gave the world Bruce Springsteen, The Misfits, Lifetime, and The Gaslight Anthem. There’s perhaps a bit of the essence of each of those trailblazers within the Bike Routes sound. While the South Jersey singer/songwriter conjures the spirit of the iconic troubadours of indie rock, classic emo, and postmodern pop-punk, he distinctively carves a singularly unique identity all his own. The Rush of Energy EP, the first Bike Routes release via Blue Grape Music, crackles with urgency and energy without losing the intimate feel of the earlier work. “You Want It, You Got It” and “World Apart” are ready-made anthems for audiences who share Osterhout’s diverse tastes and passions. Bike Routes excels in the live environment, as evidenced on a Spring 2024 tour with Hawthorne Heights. “Reading books is a huge hobby of mine,” David says. “And I’ve always loved writing. Learning how to say what I want exactly the right way throughout the years has been such a joy. Playing shows has been the payoff. Performing these songs that I feel fully connected to and connecting with the crowd is the greatest gift in the world
