The Bridge Gang - London SKy Tonight on Sounds Experience




The Bridge Gang
London Sky Tonight /
Sarahs Brother
Sounds Experience
Release Date: 29/10/07
500; black vinyl

The bridge gang have declared this to be their 3rd and last single they are calling it quits. They also claim not to be influenced by The Wire or Orange Juice, and not to have formed at art school. Maybe this is some kind of reverse psychology to make me want the single even more. Maybe they aren't disbanding after all and will keep releasing 7"'s forever.
On earlier tracks like 'Neutrino', and 'The money will roll right', I hear the early 90's feel they were going for, real distorted guitars, big drums, lots of crashes, that post metal/punk influenced sound.

Jose sounds like a voice cracking english kurt kobain at times on the earlier stuff, but on this London Sky tonight single, they are taking a slightly gentler direction, with a more pop than punk harmonic sound. This could be the obligatory slow jam so the kids get out on the dance floor.
This could also be later-era Ramones. Sonically they have made the move to the East coast and sugar-coated the sound. The guitars have less distortion and the recording quality is decidedly improved. Some might say their sound has matured, aged like a wine cooler...bandmates Lucy and Bret join in on the choruses and turn the sweetness here up to 11.
