Bridges.

Inactivity has struck again, blame University and Work this time! Along with the end of college!

Anyway, Local talent is hard to come by in some areas, especially here. Telford seems to be stuck in a rut of Metal/Death Metal bands and now I know this is biased but it just doesn't appeal. But there was a lot of buzz around a new band Bridges. I personally didn't know what to expect but was blown away once their sound hit. Bridges present the audience with such an ambient sound it pulls the listener into a trip. Salvation showed the potential that this band possessed, with an gripping riff to start things off followed by rough vocals and clean mixed into the same verse. The thing I have found with Bridges is that its so unpredictable that it makes the listener just wait in anticipation for whats around the corner.

The other highlight on their first E.P is the Navigator. The main grip of this is obviously the captivating piano that is present throughout all of the track. With such a simple piece of music Bridges managed to make the shortest track off of their E.P the most dynamic as well, and once the guitar and guest singer Aidy comes into the track it makes it one of the best instrumental/hardcore songs I have ever heard, it is individual and easy to distinguish in an already overcrowded music industry. They are by far the best band in the midlands I know i'll probably be heckled for that but yuno whatever.

A few weeks ago Bridges released Breathing which saw the band took a new direction aiming even more away from the haze of metal bands in the local area aiming towards a more friendly sound and boy did it work. The new song is phenomenal, astounding, brilliant, remarkable in every single way. The vocals mixing with the guitar works to create such an ambiance. The way the drums thunder throughout the track can send shivers down the spine of any man. Bridges have a string of upcoming date including a headline show at the 02 Academy. Quite frankly they deserve everything they are getting. This band is pure talent, pure raw undiscovered talent. Give it a year or two and this band will be plastered over peoples walls and invading our airwaves. Heard it here first!

And for all you kind folk who wanna check this band out here you go!
