Artist:Small Brown Bike
Song:See You in Hell
Album:Dead Reckoning
Small Brown Bike is a post hardcore punk band who were active mostly from 1999-2004. They had modest success. Their music is not commercial. But there is an audience for this kind of music. Small Brown Bike is from the small town of Marshall, MI. They were formed in 1996 by Mike Reed on vocals and guitar, his brother Ben Reed on bass, Travis Dopp on guitar and Dan Jaquint on drums. They grew up together and one of the things they liked to do is work on their bicycles. So they called themselves Small Brown Bike. After self releasing a couple of singles and touring, the band signed with the indie label No Idea Records and released the 1999 album Our Own Wars. The band wrote and produced everything with the help of recording engineer Ed Rose at his Kansas City studio. Dopp left and was replaced by Scott Flaster. See You in Hell is from the 2002 album Dead Reckoning. This album is available as a digital download. After that album was released, Jaquint returned to school and was replaced by Jeff Gensterblum. Small Brown Bike released the 2003 album The River Bed on Lookout! Records. At this point, Small Brown Bike weren't getting anywhere so they split up in 2004. The thing that might have helped was if they had gotten positive reviews from the music press. But they got mixed reviews and the following they did have wasn't enough for them to make a living. The members went on to form other bands but nothing notable. After some 2007 benefit shows, Small Brown Bike reformed and released the 2011 album Fell & Found. When that went nowhere, Small Brown Bike split up for good. Travis Dopp died in 2023. Here's the video for See You in Hell by Small Brown Bike.
