Melodic rockers Bridge The Gap tease new album with latest single

Music Review | 14th Dec, 2024 Bridge The Gap

After arriving on the melodic punk scene seemingly out of nowhere in 2023, Bridge The Gap are a band that combine killer riffs, powerful drumming, and an unshakeable foundation of catchy, melodic vocals.

Building on the raw energy and experience from their first release that band have recorded 14 fresh tracks that showcase their growth as a band. The album, Gainsayer is set for release is a thrilling new chapter in the band's sonic evolution and is set for 2025 release.

Giving a hint of what to expect the band has released the stunning single, In The Throes.

Speaking about their latest single the band says;

In The Throes deals with the topic of battling inner demons and searching deep to find the resolve to overcome them. Hopefully, the song is relatable and inspires some hope, not only that there are literally millions of people going through such struggles but also that there might be a way through without succumbing to the worst of it. We chose In The Throes to be our first single because it's an accurate snapshot of what fans and listeners can expect to hear from Gainsayer as a 14-song album. This was our second time working with Bill and our friends at the Blasting Room, and they really turned it on for us with Gainsayer. We spent a lot of time with Bill getting the vocal ideas for - In The Throes - ironed out and tracked, and we're stoked with how it all shook out.

In the video, we're not depicted with our figurative knives out, battling demons. Rather, the "In The Throes" video was meant to show our fans that we've been 'in the throes' of making this music together for decades now, working out our artistic impulses and creativity dating back to the late '90s. It's a kind of then-and-now showcase of where we started as a band and where we are today. Our buddy Alaric from Gearly Beloved Productions helped us make this video, shooting the band performing the song live at a show we played with Chaser in Salt Lake City, juxtaposed with a host of old VHS clips we had digitized from the '90s and '00s. This was the third time we've worked with Alaric on a music video and it was a blast, as always.

While the Bridge The Gap had success with prevous release Secret Kombinations the soon to be released album Gainsayer is a whole different ballgame. As a band with more experience they spent a lot of time in pre-production selecting the songs that would be on the record. The result is a collection of melodic tracks with killer riffs, ripping solos and powerful drumming.
