Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster

About Me


Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster are a four-piece instrumental post-rock group based in London. Formed in 2008 by the meeting of four minds sharing a love of progressive music and post-rock, the band seek to combine textural melancholic soundscapes with crushing riffs to create an atmospheric sound.

Sounds Like:
"...poignant stuff that shows off the crisp syncopation of Russian Circles and keeps pushing forward. If you like technical, all-out spirals of sound you could do worse than give this lot a listen! Big, heavy and sludgy, this instrumental post-metal odyssey is bruising in the best way possible"

Rock Sound Magazine

"The epically titled Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster...already have a clear direction; heavy, doom laden, textural waves of noise...The build-ups themselves are often very beautiful; vast echoes and heart rending chord changes make your skin prickle...they do a great job on “Collapse” by injecting tons of personality in to each track..."

www.roomthirteen.com

"...the music subtly seeps into your head and lifts you somewhere else...this is music to score movies to, to put on and let yourself get immersed in...give it a chance and you may find yourself hitting the repeat button a few times"

www.rockmidgets.com

"...capable of bringing something more to...the whole idea of instrumental post rock"

www.organart.com

"Fantastic progressive metal here from this London based four piece instrumental collection. Ace"
