Small Brown Bike is a band from Marshall, Michigan that started in 1996. The band was sparked from an earlier band, Help! The Lookout, started by former front man Mike Reed, and his brother, Bass player Ben Reed. The band consisted of 80's guitar like riffs and melodic vocals. The trademark of Small Brown Bike are their "double vocals" backed by melodies. Their sound is often identified as being similar to other post-hardcore bands, such as Avail, Hot Water Music and Dillinger Four. Their last show was in 2004 at The Fireside Bowl in Chicago, after already agreeing to split up. Former members Mike Reed and Dan Jaquint later created the band La Salle, with Reed's wife playing bass guitar. Ben Reed is now the singer in the Great Sea Serpents based out of Chicago, IL. Mike and Ben have also formed the band Able Baker Fox with former drummer Jeff Gensterblum and Nathan Ellis from the Casket Lottery. Their first album "Voices" was released in January 2008.
The band name is derived from their working experience as bike mechanics.
The band announced a return to songwriting on October 6, 2009. They announced it via their new website.
