Drawing from a deep pool of musical inspiration, Raise the Bridges sound like a party teetering dangerously on the edge of being out of control. Of course, this is the carefully constructed vision of this funky Portland-based hip-hop hybrid. A full band backs two separate vocalists, mixing elements of reggae, ska and rock n' roll, helping to provide a high energy soundtrack for the clever wordplay, intelligent lyrics and sing-a-long choruses.

From Heather BuBlac, manager and sound engineer at The Ash Street Saloon, Portland's legendary rock venue "...A sunny blast of hip-hop and rock, Raise the Bridges are a cross over of party rock and ska/reggae with a metallic edge to it. This is one of those bands that you lose your voice screaming along with, suckin' back a few more then you thought you would and when you wake up next to that guy you saw near the bathroom, wondering how you got there... The answer will inevitably be Raise the Bridges, that's how".

Performing together since summer of 2008, these longtime friends relish in providing party music with a purpose. Check out their live show for a truly entertaining and exciting experience.
