Race The Bus
Race The Bus is the name given to a group of artists, writers, producers and musicians. The entire body of work has been made in Bedminster, Bristol. You'll need speakers as you choose a city from the menu and start looking around. Alternative is a good word. It could be the new black.
You can download any of the tracks, normally by 'right click', save target as, or open in a new browser, or do as you will. There are some details here about how to get hold of a CD, if that's what you want.
What's All This Bus Nonsense Then?
Race The Bus is a group of individuals, fully licenced in PSV travel. The project is conducted by a core of three, their journey rather more important than their destination, although it has picked up many passengers en route.
Race The Bus members are not really sure what it's all about themselves, except that you can catch a ride to all the tunes produced by the collective, simply by picking a city to travel in. The songs are grouped according to their style, which can often, but not always, be attributed to the personnel involved.
Bristol
It all started in Bristol. The views from the buses here are thoughtful beats, upbeat distorted guitars fused with laid back acoustic tones from whatever came to hand, and a variety of vocal styles. It's mostly moody, sometimes dark and minor, and always alright. My lover.
London
Experiments in new Bus-Technology means that London now futuristically boasts rock vocals, precisely directed movements of energy that are a bit like the opening from Star Wars, and an automated ticket droid.
Madrid
There's a big, new bus garage in Madrid, but the buses just circle it's modern structures to hip-hop influences fused with traditional bus conductors, beats and cuts.
Darwin
This is the urban pulse, upside down. Each journey is accompanied by cool numbers that drive your imagination and feet. Drawing carefully on hip-hop overtones; on these tracks, beats are to bass-lines what nuts are to squirrels. Or Eucalyptus to koalas.
New York
Pulling on dreamy, acoustic influences and more retro in their impact, the bus routes around Greenwich Village are always shepherding smiling passengers, to their peaceful destinations.
Smoking is allowed on all decks.
