Bye Bye Bicycle: Bonjour Tristesse

Bye Bye Bicycle

I've had a good bit of luck with the mighty MySpace music machine lately, many bands of which I've already gotten around to posting on, but Sweden's Bye Bye Bicycle have been on the back burner for a while and it's about time they get heard. I'll admit, I've played them for a couple friends and most of them have had nothing too good to say about the vocals. Now, I personally really dig the vocals, but I can definitely understand why others wouldn't. Bye Bye Bicycle, as if you couldn't have already guessed, are a lovely jangle pop band. Their songs are similar in a sense to other pop bands such as Heavenly, in that behind the veil of sweet and catchy melodies, there's actually some very skilled and precise guitarwork. Just listen to this song, okay?

[MP3]: Bye Bye Bicycle :: Bonjour Tristesse (Very Rec'd!)
Starting off at full speed right of the gate, the shiny, twinkling guitar weaves around your head until it's cut off bluntly by the scream of vocalist Andre, and by now you will undoubtedly know whether you'll love this song or want to turn it off. I obviously loved it, and have found it pretty difficult to not shuffle around in my seat everytime I listen to it now.

Not too sure how you'd go about buying anything from these guys, but I would imagine you're best best would be getting in touch with them on MySpace.

Stumble It!
