bridges and powerlines trace their lineage to the summer of 2005 when lead singer/keyboardist Andrew Wood and bass player Keith Sigel discovered a common interest: creating power pop skewed by the angular lens of New York rock.

Early press was enthusiastic, describing them as "dancey power-pop sprinkled with Williamsburg rock; this might be the next band everyone is talking about." [New York Press] The foursome's quirky yet catchy pop songs have since drawn comparisons to thunderbirds are now!, and the futureheads.

Venturing out in the winter of '06, the band has played a series of well-received shows spanning the northeastern US and in late September released their debut EP. Recorded at headgear studios in Williamsburg (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the National) it has been described as "an exhilirating racket" [sixeyes] , and "a taught five-song testament to why they should be get added to your list of bands to watch."

The record has since received widespread college radio airplay, and has drawn further critical acclaim. In April of 2007 the band began recording their debut full-length record with rising star producer Chris Zane (les savy fav, Asobi Seksu, The White Rabbits), with an anticipated release in early 2008.
