The Bridge ligt volledig in lijn met hun eerste single: knappe opbouw, meeslepende drive, goed gezongen, interessante dynamiek en voldoende power. Ik ben misschien niet meteen van mijn sokken geblazen, maar ik kan niet ontkennen dat ik de muziek van Earth Drive steeds meer aanvoel. Noem het gerust een slow burner. Een band die ik graag verder volg en héél graag live zou zien.

"We often look for a bridge. Whether inside us or outside. Something that makes us reach a point that connects us to another location, whether physical or not."
"The Bridge" is the second single from Earth Drive's new album. "The song addresses processes of transmutation and full confidence in crossing a bridge between a reality of false security, old habits, patterns and limiting beliefs to a new reality where the unknown is embraced with a deep belief in a new time of experiences of rebirth and growth. “The Bridge” symbolizes the duality and conflict between the comfort of the known and the uncomfortable challenge of the unknown. Overcoming the fear of the unstable cloudiness of the waters that surround this “bridge”, a ritual begins that interconnects perfectly with “True passage into the void” (first single) through a sonic “tail” that embraces the two themes, uniting them. equally, in the concept and theme that continues throughout the rest of the work."
The Alternative Heavy Psych Rock band EARTH DRIVE is characterized by a visceral and cathartic heavy sound.
In addition to its power and volume, the band has a strong atmospheric component with hypnotic and meditative textures adorned by a charismatic, engaging, deep and captivating female voice.
Spatial and ritualistic atmospheres create a unique aesthetic, making Earth Drive a remarkable experience to let us flow and travel within ourselves.
