Vinyl records and posters are pristine when packed. Please be aware we DO NOT issue refunds or replacements for minor cosmetic damage, such as corner dings, bends, split inserts, and so on. We pack our vinyl and posters securely and carefully in custom crafted boxes and tubes, but in some cases this type of wear is simply unavoidable during transit.

BRIDGE THE GAP IS:
Chad Jensen – Vocals and Guitar
Shon Foster – Bass and Backing Vocals
Ryan Thompson – Drums and Backing Vocals

Bridge The Gap is a group of friends who’ve been making music together since the 1990s. After putting their instruments down for a time to start families and pursue careers outside of music, the guys rekindled their connections around 2020. Vocalist/guitarist Chad Jensen went on a demoing binge with songs he’d been stockpiling during the intervening years, and when the other band members – bassist/vocalist Shon Foster and drummer/vocalist Ryan Thompson – heard them, everyone was inspired to start something anew. Thus, Bridge The Gap was born.

The band quickly reached out to Bill Stevenson (Descendents, ALL, Black Flag) to see if he’d be on board to produce their debut album, and soon found themselves in Ft. Collins, Colorado at his legendary studio The Blasting Room. What emerged was their debut full-length album, ‘Secret Kombinations’ – a record that captured punk rock lightning in a bottle and organically received universally positive reviews from the punk rock press and community with no official PR launch.

Bridge The Gap was so creatively inspired by working with Stevenson and Jason Livermore (Rise Against, Hot Water Music, NOFX) that they wanted to return as soon as possible to record 14 fresh songs. When Bridge The Gap returned to The Blasting Room to work with Stevenson and Livermore about 20 months later to record ‘Gainsayer’, it was a whole different ball game. As a band, the guys were now much more weathered and cohesive, and they had spent a lot of time in pre-production selecting the songs that would be on the record and crafting the arrangements and vocal melodies. The result of that second experience with Stevenson and Livermore is ‘Gainsayer’, which hits with power on a slightly deeper level than ‘Secret Kombinations’ and never lets up.

“On ‘Gainsayer’, Bridge The Gap specifically chose a 14-song collection that best featured some compelling melodic roots vocally,” explains Jensen. “The priority was solid, catchy melodies, and then the band built on it from there. Make no mistake, ‘Gainsayer’ features plenty of killer riffs, melodic, ripping solos, powerful, nuanced drumming, and bass lines galore. But the foundation of this record is the strength of the vocal melodies and the songs themselves. As a band, Bridge The Gap came out of its second trip to the Blasting Room flying high and champing at the bit to share ‘Gainsayer’ with the world.”
