The nucleus of Off The Bridge formed in 2001, when high school freshmen Alex Marans and Adam Soffer began playing every day after class. With an incomparable musical bond forming, their first show in 2004 was a victory at a statewide battle of the bands, placing them squarely on the map of East Coast artists to watch.

After a hundred shows on bills of all sizes and sounds, the band decided to hit the studio with world-class drummer Greg Trabandt, former member of Furious Styles. The Long Hill Sessions was produced and engineered by accomplished multi-instrumentalist Paul Opalach, who contributed pedal steel guitar to the aboriginal reggae-rock closer "Breaking It Off". The three preceding tracks offer a glimpse into the musical palette of Marans and Soffer: the pop appeal of "Terminal," the neck-breaking funk of "Anomaly," and the introspective "Doubt" form a diverse yet unremittingly cohesive EP.

With mastering by Alan Douches (Sufjan Stevens, Ben Folds), Off The Bridge's captivating sound has made its way onto both college and commercial radio. The future of the band is bright – studies at SUNY Purchase have led to a wider array of creative ideas in both songwriting and production, and a willingness to tour has proven the band's dedication.

The band is now working on new material with newcomer Nick Zacarelli on drums.
