Press Reviews "Nickel Bridge isn’t starting out as a ska band, but aside from that, it has more than a few things in common with Fighting Gravity, a huge regional success before signing a major record label deal.""After some talking, this rock/pop/folk band got down to business, first playing the catchy and smooth 'All-American' in the spirit of the recent July Fourth holiday. The singer's rich, smooth voice blended with the acoustic guitar ... I was once again left wanting to know more about the band...""Ummm Excuse me, this song [Hide & Seek] is to all of the record producers and artists who are against the MP3 revolution. "You are missing the boat if you don't sign these guys". I myself am not much of a pop rock fan but I know a good band when I hear one and this is a GOOD band. This is to the members of Nickel Bridge: 'If you don't get signed in a month, write your congressman.' GREAT WORK.""IT WON'T TAKE LONG FOR THESE GUYS TO GET NOTICED!"
