Bridges Ablaze is a rock/metal band from Austin, Texas. Bred by an “all-in” passion and a mutual disdain for the status-quo, Bridges Ablaze is the predestined voice for a generation that refuses to be put into a box. The duo, composed of founding members Brien Allen and Ruben Zamora, doesn't bend their identity to any one idea. Rather, they draw from specific influences, ranging from deathcore to jazz and beyond, to craft their own sound that is equal parts unique and anthemic. Brien Allen and Ruben Zamora are both central songwriters as well as lead singers and lead guitarists for Bridges Ablaze, making their sound unique. With a diverse palate of influences, the duo seeks to push the edge of the known sonic envelope while defining their own distinguished sound in a world of oversaturated subgenres. Bridges Ablaze sings about all kinds of authentic life experiences, making their music both cathartic and relatable as well as recognizable. One goal of the music, aside from being catharsis for Brien and Ruben, is to inspire the listener to feel what they need to feel - be it excitement, joy, sadness, or rage. 

Their debut single, “The Kill” (originally by 30 Seconds to Mars), was engineered and produced by Cory Brunnemann and was released on April 1st, 2020. The song was originally an experiment - a sort of "proof of concept" for the project. Slowly (and at times, quickly), the project became something progressively more and more involved. After multiple years of rigorous artistic and business development, the band finally released their debut music video for “The Kill” on January 21st, 2022 on YouTube.

Given the positive response to their cover of "The Kill", Brien and Ruben decided to record an album with Robby Joyner in Houston, Texas. In 2023, the duo released the singles “Hellbent” (January 13th), “Never Too Late” (April 14th), “Forever Fallen” (July 21st), and "Heartbroken Angel" (October 20th) on all streaming platforms with accompanying music videos on YouTube. In 2024, the band continued releasing singles without signs of slowing. “Numb” (January 24th), “Apocalypse” (June 12th), and “Take Me” (August 23rd), as well as acoustic renditions of their songs “Heartbroken Angel” (April 24th) and “Numb” (May 8th) were released across all platforms with accompanying music videos on YouTube. The band intends to release more singles in 2025, culminating with the release of their debut album in 2025 or 2026.

Since inception, the band has been releasing singles and music videos consistently, with many more releases planned for the future. Since 2022, the band has grossed over 2.5 million views on YouTube and over 2.5 million streams across Spotify and Apple Music. In the last year, Heartbroken Angel also grossed over 28 million streams on TikTok due to being added to TikTok’s “Rock Playlist”.
