Brothers, front man Terrill Hinson and drummer Brandon Hinson originally formed the band in 1997. Lead guitarist Jason Anderson and bassist Joe Patane join the two brothers in creating this great rock band! Charlotte's Modern Rock station 106.5 WEND has had Bridge appear in many different radio events. Their passion and love for music clearly stands out in the music they write. Terrill Hinson's lyrics are pure, honest, and straight from the heart. The music they create is unique and heart pounding. Lead guitarist Jason Anderson goes all out on the hard rockin' riffs and out of control solos! The group worked with veteran producer Steve Haigler to create the band's current EP. The EP consists of three songs that describe who Bridge is and what their mission in music is, to kick a**! The first track on the CD "Vision" needs no introduction. From the first second to the last, this song keeps your blood pumping! Hinson's voice is propelled through a distorted filter, which makes him sound like he is speaking through a bullhorn.

The following song is the single they've used to create Bridge's current video. "Follow Me Down", is a unique modern rock song; the lyrics are so pure, it touches you on a higher mental level. Very soon you are going to be hearing this song everywhere. Trust me, after the first time listening to this song, you won't be able to stop singing it! The last song on the EP is "Silence", my personal favorite. This song opens with a catchy guitar riff. I love this song because it shows the harder side of Bridge. Raging guitar riffs and stunning lyrics pump up the sound on this killer track! Hinson concludes the chorus by saying, "Silence is the way we die!".

BIO In the summer of 1997, two brothers born into music formed the modern rock band Bridge. Frontman Terrill Hinson, creates heart-drenching lyrics that speak truth and experience while brother and heavy hitter Brandon Hinson provides the backbone of the group on drums. Jason Anderson brings heavy riffs and soaring solos through lead guitars while Joe Pantane' completes the lineup with his infusion of strong and solid bass lines. Following the initial success of their debut EP, Bridge traveled from their home base of Charlotte to Seattle, enlisting the support of Smashmouth's Steve Harwell and producer Jon Dunleavy. The result was the release of the group's first album, "Blinking Reality." This provided the springboard for the band as they went on to blister the regional music scene with performances at packed club dated and sold out area festivals. Their dynamic onstage success led Charlotte Modern Rock station 106.5 WEND to summon Bridge for appearances at numerous radio-sponsored events. Bridge has preformed with, among others, Live, Oleander, and Course of Nature. These shows allowed the band to envelop their audiences with memorable, passionate rock and roll while reaching crowds as high as five figures. A contagious excitement accompanies Bridge as they steadily increase their rapidly growing fan base. Due to the varied influences of Pearl Jam, Creed, Stone Temple Pilots, and Black Crowes, it was a natural progression for Bridge to choose rock veteran Steve Haigler to produce their current EP. Such songs as "Follow Me Down," "Vision," and "Silence" reveal a depth unrivaled in today's music scene. This new material demonstrates Bridge's promise of enormous things to come from the sound of a new voice.
