Is this your bike? has, in a way, existed for ages. It's a tale of buddies playing instruments and singing along to their favourite tunes. The only difference for us is that we started recording those jams. And we're not too fuzzy about it either. It's all live, and we don't edit anything. Mistakes are made, sometimes there's a siren in the background, it's all part of playing live. Like a shitty homevideo your parents made when you were pooping your pants at the table while a bunch of strangers with mullets sing you happy birthday. 

What are those jams? Honestly, anything at all! We play what we want, but less complicated. That sounds lazy (and we are lazy), but our philosophy is that a good song should be able to stand on it's own with just the bare minimum. That's the core: lyrics, chords, and melody. That said, we don't shy away from other instruments that brings in an interesting sound. But if you want to put a label on it, I suppose we could call it alternative acoustic.
