Riding Tunes: 5 Faves for March 2018

I often love to ride without earphones in and enjoy listening to the sound of the birds singing, tyres ripping, Hugo whooping or even to take a moment to appreciate the deep quietness of the forest. But then there are other times, where the sound of sweet, sweet music in my ears is perfect for keeping my legs spinning and my heart boogeying!

WEST COUNTRY QUIRK N BASS: THE INEXPLICABLES
Yehh boyy! Saxophones, beat boxing, a west country MC and sweet female vocals. Definitely a great group for bringing the fun energy into your spinning legs and a smile across your face. Whenever I listen to this I wish I was with all my buddies enjoying a few ciders around the fire! Maybe we'll throw a Trail Unknown party one day...

AUSTRALIAN SUNSET DREAMS: OCEAN ALLEY
This is the kind of music that makes me fall in love with music. I’m riding my bike with the wind in my hair, no hands on the bars with no care, air guitaring till the cows come home. I’m dreaming of summer colours and dusty trails, exploring on road trips and warm evening rides.

DEVON LEGEND TRIO: PATTERN PUSHER
Watching these three Devon boys play in Exeter, I could feel their energy in their cheeky faces and closed eyes bursting through their instruments. Before I knew it my hips were wiggling! Love the music vid featuring their grandparents! Catch the boys next on April 5th in the Exeter Cavern and 7th at London Camden Assembly.

NORTHERN ANGEL DUB: SUBMOTION ORCHESTRA
Coupling the angelic voice of the female lead singer with the naughty sounds of live dub, ah yeh these guys are a lot of fun!  They get into dub flows that I wish would never stop. Reminds me of how I feel when I’m riding my bike down a flowy trail. When you’re just in sync with life. 


​

FRENCH JAZZY DREAMS: FKJ
I love listening to FKJ when I’m out for longer rides with no intentions and no worries, just enjoying what the trail presents to me. It doesn’t make me want to do anything crazy but it just puts me in a state of mind where everything little hump, bump, tree and badger is all an essential part of the pleasure of the ride! 

That’s all for now folks. Keep supporting your local live music venue and bands! Make sure you know what guided mountain bike trips we’re running this year and enjoy riding your bikes to your new music.
Love, Tom
