BRIDGES

"Soft, supple songwriting with a dark edge.” -  Clash

Bridges continue to showcase their thoughtful, nuanced brand of indie-rock as they prepare to release the glorious new single, Up.

Following on from the successful release of previous single Go Long, Up is the second cut to be unveiled in a run that will culminate in the launch of their Empty Galleries EP in October 2021.

Up is another trademark effort from a band who continue to mature from track to track. Bittersweet, reflective lyricism is underscored by angular guitar notes, a compelling, euphoric chorus and the sweet harmonic exchange between Ethan Proctor (guitar, vocals) and Chess Williams (keys, vocals).

Comprised of Josh Redman Thomas (guitar), Henry Matthews (bass) and Tom Farkas (drum), Bridges formed in their hometown of Bridgwater following the completion of university. Extensive touring on the DIY circuit saw them quickly grow a fanbase leading to notable performances at Glastonbury, 2000 Trees and Isle of Wight. The band’s intimate sound has seen them pick up support from the likes of Clash, Dork, Far Out Magazine, God Is In The TV, Mystic Sons and many more. To celebrate the release of the Empty Galleries EP Bridges will play Rough Trade Bristol (16th October), Seabright Arms London (3rd November *sold out*) and Aatma Manchester (6th November).

Up is out on 16th June 2021 via Genepool Records.
