Bio
The rich, musical hotbed of Kent, Ohio has produced a talented act, and they’re known as The Speedbumps. Kent’s own Daily Kent Stater says: “The Speedbumps have been called neo-acoustic, folk, chamber rock and everything in between. Their sound is influenced by artists like Nick Drake, Wilco, Iron and Wine and Damien Rice, to name a few”. Apple Tree, released in October 2008, is a follow-up to their debut album, Back to Burlington, released in 2005.

What separates the Speedbumps from other bands - | |
“Apple Tree” is the follow-up to their debut album, “Back to Burlington”, released in 2005. The Speedbumps maintain the high level of songwriting and instrumentation demonstrated on their first album, and in the process has found an incredible emotive outlet shown on tracks that display the diversity in Urycki’s thematic songwriting.
