In this episode, we chat with Bridge the Gap about the band’s evolution, the release of their long-awaited new album, and the realities of balancing music with everyday life. He reflects on transitioning from his former band to forming Bridge the Gap, and how the group navigated a year-long delay due to label negotiations. We discuss the band’s roots in '90s punk rock, how they stay active despite full-time jobs and families, and the effort it takes to stand out in today’s crowded streaming landscape. He also shares thoughts on the importance of production quality, how the band tailors their seasonal touring schedule, and why fan connection—especially through platforms like Instagram and their merch store—is crucial in today’s scene.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
