Bridge The Gap is a collection of four friends who toured hard and released music together in the '90s and early '00s. After putting down their instruments for a time to start families, the dudes reorganized as a new band with a fresh creative perspective and a burning passion to share their brand of skate-punk with the world.Many of the political/societal themes on the record were the result of 2020 and how the pandemic changed the world. Several of the songs were written in 2020 and 2021. But most of the tunes existed for years prior to production of the album in 2022, two of which were 20 years old but unpublished before appearing on ‘Secret Kombinations’. “We’re proud as hell of ‘Secret Kombinations’,” reflects vocalist/guitarist Chad Jensen. “It took Bridge The Gap from a bedroom project to a full-fledged band again, thanks to how The Blasting Room put its stamp on the music and how hard we worked in the studio. After we got the mixes back, there was no doubt: Bridge The Gap had to be an active band. We had to support the music, play live, and give the record the respect it deserves. Along the way, we were stunned at the reactions ‘Secret Kombinations’ got. And all of the great reviews. ‘Secret Kombinations’ has aconsiderable fan base now. It only made us want to go back to the studio and get busy on Album 2…”With ‘Secret Kombinations’, Bridge The Gap plants its skate-punk flag with 13 anthems produced by Bill Stevenson, mixed and mastered by Jason Livermore, and recorded at The Blasting Room. ‘Secret Kombinations’ is being jointly released by Double Helix Records (USA) and People of Punk Rock (CAN).Double Helix Records is carrying the Ruby Red variant (Limited to 100 units).Track Listing:SIDE A1.
