The Bridgeheads

The Bridgeheads are a London-based alternative band formed in 2007 originating from Central Europe (Slovakia). The band's current line-up consists of Tomas dAsK (songwriting, vocals, guitar), Joseph Lemee (guitar), Michael Twisb (drums and percussion).

The Beginning

The band began life as The Bridge formed by Tomas during his art college studies. Since then the band have toured Europe constantly, playing over 150 shows to enthusiastic audiences in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Warsaw and numerous other cities. They have gained a cult status among loyal fans in Central Europe, thanks to their expressive, tense live performances.

In 2007 they moved to London and changed their name to The Bridgeheads, “From the beginning this city has had a deep effect on the music I write,” says Tomas.

After their well-received secret show in London, they went into the studio and recorded a moody apocalyptic set about the dark site of human existence and the city. From these recordings 3 songs "Things", "Animals" and "Expression" make up their new EP entitled "Things". This new EP amply demonstrates the breadth of dAsK's songwriting skills and clearly illustrates the band's considerable talents.

Sound and Art

The Bridgeheads` organic sound is a mix of rich guitar textures and a combination of intricate and linear drumming, woven together with intensely penetrating vocals. Their songs often deal with personal themes and the things that aren't so nice about life. dAsK's angst-ridden and ironic lyrics are brought to life by his unique voice using all of its elements, including falsetto. "For me sound is visual, and we as a band are literally drawing our music as if with a paintbrush ", explains Tomas, who keeps a tight leash on everything related to the band, from doing his own artwork to shooting the bands music videos, his attention to detail ensures the whole aesthetic of the band is true to them.

Fragile, tense and personable, The Bridgeheads` music is built in the mould of a long line of bands that see a beauty where the others can't.

Their new EP "Things" is released worldwide and for downloading on September 10th and the band strike out on a UK and European tour in October.
