BRIDGES combine their anthemic sound with poetic lyricism, making something undeniably re ned in the process. Frontman Ethan Proctor’s warm, emotive vocals are at the forefront (reminiscent of Frightened Rabbit’s Scott Hutchison or The National’s Matt Berninger) with huge guitar hooks over tightly woven harmonies creating music that is both gritty yet visceral.
In Spring 2020 BRIDGES tour the UK and Ireland, promoting singles Wishbone, Stole the Words and More than Before (13th March 2020 release) – the singles combined make up their second EP (April 2020 release). Recorded with Dan Young (October Drift) and mixed by James Kenosha (Dry the River/Rhodes/Dinosaur Pile Up), the EP explores the will to be better, cementing their sound and vision for their debut album to come.
BRIDGES continue to build a loyal following and warm community. In recent years they’ve performed at numerous prestigious festivals including Glastonbury, 2000 Trees and Isle of Wight. They have supported the likes of The Slow Readers Club, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Airways and All Tvvins, and received praise from various well respected publications including Clash, Gigslutz and Its All Indie.
"Born in the same house as Frightened Rabbit and The Gaslight Anthem the quartet clearly have their eyes set on filling the stadium-sized hole their songs demand."
